Hello Crafters!
Welcome to the My Monthly Hero Kit September 2022 Blog Hop! You should have arrived from the fantastic Jessica Frost-Ballas but if you're just popping in you'll want to head over to the Hero Arts Blog
so you don't miss any of the inspiration along the hop.
It also gives you more chances to win this fabulous kit!
The September Kit has so many fantastic items! The kit itself is $34.99 but the worth is $70. Such a steal! I especially love the background stamp because it's so timeless.
Hero Arts is generously giving away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, September 11th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.
I love the flower image but I know it can sometimes be a little overwhelming to color such detailed images. I have a trick to getting it done quickly and easily!
I chose a handful of Copic markers that all work well together and then just blended them in. No taking the time to color each individual item. I just placed the colors that blend together next to each other and BAM beautiful!
I also used that gorgeous background stamp combined with our pearl embossing powder to make a gorgeous but subtle background pattern.
You can see the entire process in the below!
For as subtle as the main kit card is that's how bold I went with my add on! I used the fabulous new Leaf Circle Stencil to heat emboss trapping in my ink blending. I added some black overtop and then buffed with a baby wipe.
I finished it off with some gold heat embossing, gold glitter paper, and gold pearls. I love how dramatic it looks!
Your next stop on the hop is amazing Lydia Fiedler!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
