Hero Arts February 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, today we are celebrating the release of the Hero Arts February 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit. The kit this month is birthday themed, which is perfect for all year round. If you are following along in the hop, you should have arrived here from the fabulous Maria, but if you get lost along the way, I have the full list of participants below.
 

For my projects today, I have used the main kit (plus one add-on set) to create a card and matching tag. I was immediately drawn to the Teal Icing Lacquer Pen that comes in the kit, so I based my colour theme around that. For the card, I started off by masking off the bottom edges of a Hero Arts Dove White Top Folding Card. I then blended Hero Arts Pool Party Reactive Ink on top, fading out to white at the top.
 

I placed the star stencil from the Hero Arts Sky Stencil Pair on top and then blended more Pool Party ink through it. I then removed the stencil and masks. I took the Cake Fancy Die that comes in the kit and die cut it from Hero Hues Dove White Cardstock. It was added to the card with foam tape.
 
 
I then took the sentiment label from the Hero Arts You're Top Tier Stamp Set (which is an add-on this month) and stamped it on to white cardstock with Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. I coloured it with Copic Markers and then cut it out with the coordinating die from the Hero Arts You're Top Tier Frame Cuts set. It was added to the card with foam tape and tape runner. To finish off, I added small dots of the Teal Icing Lacquer Pen to the cake.
 
 
I thought I would make a little accompanying tag to go with the card. I first die cut the Hero Arts Fancy Tag Die from white cardstock and the topper piece from Hero Hues Pitch Black Cardstock. I again blended on Hero Arts Pool Party Reactive Ink, followed by the star stencilling. I stamped and coloured the cake from the main kit stamp set and then die cut out with the coordinating die. It was added to the tag with foam tape. I added twine through the top of the tag and then finished off by adding a few dots of the Teal Icing Lacquer Pen around the cake.
