October My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #2 + Giveaway
Michelle Short
Hello! We are continuing the countdown to the release of the October My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, October 7 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. We will be here all weekend, sharing inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Michelle for another look at this fabulous kit!
Hello there, Michelle here and I am delighted to be sharing another countdown card with you today. This is such a fabulous kit and I thought that it would be fun to go for non-traditional Christmas colours for my card today.
I started off by stamping the car, tree and presents from the main kit stamp set on to white cardstock with Intens-ified Black Ink. I coloured them with Copic Markers and then die cut them out using the coordinating dies in the kit. These were set aside while I worked on my snowy background.
I took a panel of white cardstock and using a blending brush, I blended Pool Party Reactive Ink on to the top portion of the panel. I faded to white at the bottom, to resemble snow. I took White Iridescent Shimmer Spray and spritzed it over the panel. I also added some additional snow with Distress Spray Stain in Picket Fence.
The panel was then set aside to dry. Once dry, I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set on to the panel in the top left hand corner, with more Intens-ified Black Ink. The card, presents and tree were then added on with foam tape. I took Precision Glue and added little dabs of this over the images. I then sprinkled on the Prisma Glitter from the kit, for some added sparkle.
Win a kit before you can buy it! Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post. We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all the comments left across all countdown posts. The winner will be announced first thing Monday morning, October 7, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win!
Good Luck!
Sorry, the cat posted my comment before I was finished!
The final thing in this retro set that took me back was the wall clock. Oh my, did every house in the 60’s have that clock with the arms and balls at the end?
I love the set. Well done on these images.
I love the simplicity of the this colorful card!
I don’t know who drew the original images, but I know my dad had a car very similarly shaped to the one drawn here!
As soon as I saw the new kit this evening I was laughing about a few things I remember from my parents home in the 60’s. The shape of the car was one, the second was the TV set. I remembered all of the times as a girl I was asked to hold one of the rabbit ears while lift my other arm
Cute and simple…love that card!
Love to get this kit each month. The sets are thing I might not buy and then I fall in love with all the pieces that fit so nicely together in creating a card.
I love this card and can just imagine who I will be sending it to this Christmas.
Love the color combo on this card. This kit would allow me to produce several cards quickly.
