Hero Arts December 2018 My Monthly Hero Kit Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, today we are celebrating the release of the Hero Arts December 2018 My Monthly Hero Kit. For me, I think they have saved the best kit till last! It is absolutely beautiful! It has a magical fairy theme and I think it will be perfect for lots of occasions.

If you are following along in the hop, you should have arrived here from the amazing Jessica, but if you get lost along the way, I have the full list of participants below.


I fell in love with this mouse as soon as I saw him. So cute! I thought he would look perfect sitting on top of the toadstool/mushroom. I first stamped the mouse, masked him off and then stamped the mushroom below. I also stamped the sentiment at the top. I then made a mask for the mushroom so that I could do some ink blending in the background.


I masked off the edges of the panel with Post-It tape and then blended on Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks at the bottom and Tumbled Glass and Broken China inks at the top. All of the masks were removed and then the images coloured with Copic Markers (the colours I used are listed below the supplies section). The panel was added to a white A2 card base with tape runner.
