August My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #5 + Giveaway!

Hello! We are back with another Countdown to Creativity post before launching our August My Monthly Hero Kit and add-ons on Monday, August 7th, at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We’ll be giving away one kit on Monday morning, before the kit launches, so be sure to comment on every countdown post! Now join Yana as she shares a card made using this month kit and add-on stamps.

They say watercolor galaxies are all the rage right now and, honestly, I couldn’t agree more. Hero’s August kit and the add-ons, I think, are ideal for trying your hand at creating little watercolor skies and universes.

I started working on this card by heat embossing a surface of a distant planet (or it could be a moon) and a number of stars onto Distress Watercolor paper using Gold embossing powder. Next, I colored the background using watercolors and added flicks on water to lighten up some of the sections.

I stamped a boy sitting on a moon onto my background in Black and stamped an identical image in Navy ink onto white cardstock, cut out using coordinating die and foam mounted over the original impression. Next, I heat embossed and colored planets and a star. I tucked them behind the boy to make it look as if they were far in the distance and foam mounted the star at the end of the string.

Finally, I stamped “I Love You” next to one of the planets and heat embossed “To The Moon & Back” in white powder onto a black cardstock strip and foam mounted it onto the bottom part of my background. I added a layer of black cardstock to help frame the piece and adhered it onto an A2 card base.

Win a kit before you can buy it!
