July My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #2 + Giveaway
Michelle Short
Hello! We are continuing the countdown to the release of the July My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, July 1 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. We will be here for the rest of the weekend, sharing inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Michelle for another look at this fabulous kit!
Hello, Michelle here and I am delighted to be sharing the second countdown idea with you today. What a wonderful kit this month! I have to be honest, I am definitely more of an indoor person but I love landscapes, so I was instantly drawn towards the trees and mountains in the main stamp set.
I started off my card by die cutting a panel of Hero Hues Dove White Cardstock using a Nesting Circle Infinity Die. Using my Mini MISTI, I placed the first layer of trees at the bottom of the circle and stamped this using Pine Bold Ink. I stamped the second layer on top with Forever Green Mid-Tone Shadow Ink. I made a mask for the trees before stamping the mountains.
I stamped the first layer of mountains using Soft Granite Shadow Ink. Because I wanted the ink to be lighter, I stamped off first on to a scrap piece of paper and then stamped the residual ink on to the piece. I did this a few times to get the colour that I wanted. I then stamped the second layer with the full strength of Soft Granite Ink.
The mask was removed and the sky coloured using pale blue Copic Markers. I then stamped the birds using Charcoal Mid-Tone Shadow Ink. The sentiment was stamped using Intense Black Ink. I took a top-folding card base and embossed the next largest Nesting Circle Infinity Die on the front panel. The image panel was adhered on top with foam tape.

I love what you see in your mind’s eye! It looks like such a peaceful place. Thank you for sharing your techniques with us!
This reminds me of growing up at our family cottage in the north woods of Wisconsin! Such a beautiful card!!
Beautiful and serene scene! Can’t wait for the kit!
I love how this could be a two-fer card. So many options. Thank you for sharing.
