Hero Arts: May My Monthly Hero Kit Blog Hop + Giveaway + VIDEO

Happy Monday!

It's time for a new My Monthly Hero kit from Hero Arts.

And again, Hero Arts never ceases to amaze me with their kits and products. This month's kit is another that you don't want to miss. It is all about Under the SEA!!! 

If you are following the hop you have probably arrived from Emily Midgett's blog and your next stop is Jessica Frost-Ballas.
 I decided to go with a pull tab interactive card today where the jelly fish and sea horse come out from behind the coral image. I also used one of the add on bold prints called Inverse Bubbles. Also at the bottom of this post I have another card using another Add On Bold Print called Naturallis Patern. I had a background I made using gel press and reactive inks. I stamped the background using Embossing ink and embossed using White Satin pearl embossing powder, then just added Big Hugs die cut. 

Watch the video below to see how this card came to be (no special dies required)

Hi, Ilina - I love that "Big Hugs" card b/c it is very different from the others on the hop. Your sea scene is also beautiful and it varies from the others in that you used that awesome bubbles background stamp. Your work is always first-rate!
