Hello there and welcome to the Hero Arts Countdown for the December 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit. Release day is Monday but the Creative Team is sharing inspiration all weekend long using the kit. Be sure to head over to the Hero Arts Blog for more inspiration.
For my card, I wanted to use the beautiful hope die that is part of the main kit. This is a stand alone die that can be used in lots of different ways. As you can see, I went with a very CAS look for my card today. I started off by die cutting the hope die (it comes as two layers already attached but you can cut them apart of you wanted to) twice from Dove White Cardstock, with Stick It Adhesive on the back.
I then die cut it from a panel created using Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Pearls on Silver Sparkle Alcohol Ink Cardstock. For this, I just wanted the inside pieces. I took a Dove White Top Folding Card and adhered the frame part of the die in the top middle. I then adhered the little pieces of the alcohol ink piece inside to create an inlay effect. I then adhered the other white outline on top of the other one for some more dimension.
I took the sentiment from the Hero Arts Love Stamp & Cut set and stamped it on to Pitch Black cardstock with Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut in to a strip and adhered over the hope using foam tape. There is a cursive sentiment in the main kit stamp set but I wanted a more typed font for my card.
