July My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #2 + Giveaway
Daniel West
It's time for our second countdown peek! The July My Monthly Hero kit will be available to pre-order on Monday, July 13 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Now let’s join Daniel for some fabulous inspiration using this month's kit!
Hey there, friends and fans of the My Monthly Hero! Daniel here with some underwater adventure to Atlantis! This month's kit has us looking for the ancient legend and finding so many fun things at the bottom of the sea.
To create this scene, I began by creating a background scene on Dove White Cardstock by blending some Deep Ocean and Cornflower inks in diagonal lines across the front. Then, I die cut the foreground image die out and with the negative piece, I stenciled in some ridges near the bottom with the blending brush. To finished the background, I stamped the ruins, the Atlantean and the dolphin images in Deep Ocean Ink, and the sentiment in Intens-ified Black Ink.
To create the foreground image, I laid down the most solid layer with Cornflower ink. Then, I added the detail layer with Deep Ocean. for the last colored layer, I used Dandelion, Pale Tomato and Rose Madder inks. Finally, I die cut the foreground image out and popped it up on the front of the card base and trimmed of the overhang.

I really love this card! Ask the blue hues (AND I rhymed! 😂😂), but to mention the added depth you gave it by creating a stencil with part of the die cut. This is one of my favorites so far!
I simply must have this set it beautiful. The color are amazing. Simply gorgeous.
What a unique monthly kit/release! I love how you used the negative piece as a stencil- the results w/ the background blending and cornflower/ocean blue combo is beautiful!
The layering of colors is just gorgeous! Love the Atlantean theme.
Such a cool ocean scene! I love what you created!
