Hero Arts: May My Monthly Hero Countdown to Creativity

  Hi everyone!


Happy Friday! Today we are starting the May My Monthly Hero Sneak peeks! And it's an AH-mazing kit! It's no secret that I love all of them.

I love all the images in this kit! This month theme is ocean!!! All the images in the kit are amazing and the large one is perfect also for slim line cards! The kit also includes coordinating dies

The kit goes live on Monday, May 3rd at 10am PST/1pm EST.
To make the card I started with panel of white card stock and stamped the largest image using the Hero Arts Contour ink (an ink cube of this ink is included in the kit!!!). This ink is perfect for no line coloring. So, I used my Copics and Faber Castell Polychromos pencils to color the image. This took about few hours, because I am a slow colorist. Once done I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5 1/4", stamped sentiment using Intensi-fied Black ink and added few clear enamel dots and adhered to a Sand top folding note card using craft foam.
