February My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #5 + Giveaway
Ilina Crouse
Hello and welcome as we continue the countdown to the release of the February My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, February 4th at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We are here for another day, sharing ideas for using both the main kit, as well as the new optional add-on products that will also be available on Monday. Now let's join Ilina for another look at this fabulous kit.
I hope you are enjoying all the sneak peeks and all the creativity the last couple of days using the new February My Monthly Hero kit. For my card today I wanted to use the dancing couple and create some kind of movement around that. I used Pink Liquid Watercolor and Gold Metallic Glimmer Ink to create a watercolor smoosh background in order to achieve movement in the background. I started by dropping few drops of the Pink watercolor on a craft mat, spraying it with water few times and them smooshing a piece of hot press watercolor paper onto it. I did the same thing with the Gold metallic.
Once I was satisfied with the background I set it aside to dry. In the meantime I stamped the two images that I wanted to use using Intense Black ink and die cut them with the coordinating dies (included in the kit) and set them aside.
When the panel was dry I cut it down to 3 3/4" x 5", stamped the sentiment and border using Intense Black ink and adhered the images using foam mounting tape.
Next I created top folding black note card and adhered the panel lining it up to the top left corner and popped it up on foam mounting tape (or you can use fun foam).
To finish off the card I adhered several confetti sequins that are included in the kit.

Wow, this kit is truly full of wonderful goodies! I love this card! The dancers are fabulous & so is the awesome background!
Love this new collection! I am addicted to 20’s themed things. My grandmother was a flapper in the 20’s in Chicago and was frequently in the same club with Al Capone. I loved hearing her stories <3 Thanks for the reminder!
Ink smooshing is so much fun and so unique as they come out differently every time. Another great reason to pull out the liquid watercolors, glimmer metallic inks and get creating: Chores will have to wait (bummer 😏)!
I am blown away by this kit and the ideas everyone has shared. Art Deco and the 20’s are one of my favorite designs and eras. Can’t wait to get this kit.
What a beautiful and fun card! I really like the colorful background and the music notes. You can almost hear the music the couple would be dancing to!
