April My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #6 + Giveaway
Ilina Crouse
We are one sleep away from the release of the April My Monthly Hero Kit! The kit will be available Monday, April 1 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Now let’s join Ilina, who is sharing the final look at this fabulous kit!
Hi everyone! Ilina here with another peek at the amazing Mediterranean-inspired April My Monthly Hero kit.
I started by die cutting the elements from the kit using Pitch Black cardstock. Once those were cut, I hand cut backing pieces for the buildings from Canary cardstock and adhered it behind the buildings. I set all elements aside.
I cut piece of Dove White card tock measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", added a circle mask (for the moon) and ink blended Grape Juice, Orchid and Rose Madder inks, then splattered some white acrylic paint and white shimmer spray. Once dry I removed the mask and applied the negative from the mask and ink blended Soft Vanilla and Butter Bar inks, then stamped the sentiment using Intense Black ink.
I arranged and adhered the die cuts and adhered the whole panel to a black top folding note card.
Thank you for joining me today and hope you are enjoying all of the sneak peeks!!!

Love the bright colors. Beautiful card.
This card is absolutely gorgeous and mesmerizing.
I cannot wait to get my monthly kit! I’ve never seen a stamp set dedicated to Italy (Venice). This card is awesome. I love how you put the yellow cardstock behind the building windows. I am going to try that as well. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your palette is unusual and very romantic.
Ilena,
Your work is always so impressive. I always look forward to seeing what you create. You’ve totally captured the mystique of Venice with your color choices and perfect ink blending. This kit will make it easy to create captivating scenes for travelers and travelers at heart.
