2019 Summer Catalog Sneak Peek #2 + Giveaway
Hello and welcome back to our 2019 Summer Catalog sneak peeks! On Saturday we unlocked the vault and today we're celebrating our anniversary with an explosion of COLOR. Introducing our new line of Hero Hues® Reactive Inks!
These inks react to water when sprayed, dripped, or misted. You'll be able create unique effects and have fun playing with all sorts of fun techniques that involve water. You can even mix the Reactive Inks with water on a craft mat and use them like watercolor paints. Simply vary the amount of water used to achieve soft or bold colors.
Speaking of colors, there are 15 in the collection! From Key Lime Fizz to Berry Smoothie, the hues are vibrant and beautiful. Perfect for Summer stamping!
If you are a My Monthly Hero kit subscriber, you may have already had the opportunity to play with Reactive Inks, as we have included some (in cube form) in past kits. After receiving such a positive response to the inks, we couldn't resist bringing a wide range of new colors to you in a full size pad! We can't wait to see what you do with them!
GIVEAWAY: Leave a comment on this post and we will randomly select a winner from the comments to receive a $25 gift certificate to the Hero Arts Online Store! Please comment by Wednesday, April 24 at 11:59pm PT.
We’ll be back tomorrow with one more peek and giveaway before the full catalog reveal on Wednesday...see you then!
