More from My Monthly Hero

6 Jul

Lots of giveaways going on…For my Christmas in July video series and giveaway please click here!  For the My Monthly Hero giveaway please scroll down here or click here.

Good morning!  I’m back with another card using stamps and supplies from the July My Monthly Hero kit!  The kit is still available as of writing this post but I wouldn’t wait too much longer…they usually sell out within a day or two of the release! 😉

For my second card I wanted to go with a softer look.  I stamped the jellyfish onto watercolor paper with versamark and heat-embossed them with white embossing powder.  Then I colored the jellyfish with my zig clean color real brush markers and blended them out with my spectrum noir clear sparkle brush.  I stamped the sentiment in versamark and heat-embossed it with silver embossing powder.  I used the swirl paper included in the kit to create a frame for my shaker and then I filled it with the Mermaid mix that Lucy Abrams created for the July kit!

Thanks so much for visiting and have a wonderful day!
