Hello Crafters!
Welcome to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero February 2022 Blog Hop! You should have arrived from the talented Jennifer Kotas. If you you're just popping in head over to the Hero Arts Blog so you don't miss any inspiration or any opportunities to win!
Hero Arts is generously giving away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, February 13th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.
The February My Monthly Hero Kit has a very etheral feel to it. It's super fun to play with the images and see all the things you can create. You can also shop the Add Ons Here.
I actually made two cards from the main kit. One a bit more traditional and one a little more magical. I love that the kit allows for both even though they're completely different styles.
The first card is a much more classic look with bright colors and layers but still true to my clean and simple side. For the second card you know I love a good scene. I couldn't resist!
I pulled out my Deco Pattern Stencil and created a simple stenciled background for showcase this pretty butterfly frame. I used a rainbow of colors on them before die cutting out the frame to pop up on foam. I used the single butterfly to fill up the space and make the focal point more interesting.
A little glitter and it was done!
I knew I HAD to use the melting star sky as soon as I saw the kit. Originally I thought I would color it rainbow but once I saw the door I had the idea for this scene card. The sentiment paired perfectly with it to bring the whole feel together.
You can check out both cards from beginning to end in the video below.
The next stop on the hop is the amazing Meg Brooks.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
