Hero Arts | December 2020 My Monthly Hero Release Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hello there and welcome as we celebrate the release of the Hero Arts December 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit. This kit has so much positivity to it, with sending sunshine and hope to others. Perfect for the times we are facing at the moment. We are celebrating with a fun blog hop. If you are following along in the hop, you should have arrived here from the wonderful Maria but if you get lost along the way, I have the full list of participants below. You can also see my countdown card here if you missed it. 

For my card, I wanted to use the Cloud Window Die from the kit to create a window looking out into the sun. I started off by taking a panel of Hero Arts Dove White Cardstock and die cutting the Cloud Window Die in the top middle. I then set that panel aside and took a top folding A2 card base. Using the window panel as a guide, I blended Hero Arts Reactive Inks on the card base. I used Lemon Drop and Creamsicle inks. 

I heat set them to speed up the drying and then took the sun rays stamp from the main kit stamp set and stamped it on top using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat set. I then stamped and embossed it again on the other side to create a circle. 

The window piece was adhered on to the card base with foam tape. I took the sunshine sentiment from the kit stamp set, along with the sending you sentiment from the Hero Arts Love Stamp & Cut set and stamped them on to Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock with Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. They were cut in to strips and added to the card with more foam tape. To finish of, I added Hero Arts Sunset Enamel Dots around the sentiment.
