September My Monthly Hero Countdown + Giveaway: Day 1

Happy Friday, friends! Now that September is here, we are excited to kick off the countdown to the release of the newest My Monthly Hero Kit! Please note, release day will be one day later than usual this month due to the Labor Day holiday. You will be able to purchase the kit on Tuesday, September 7 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific.

We're also giving a kit away! Before we get to that, let's see what our talented Creative Team has been busy making with the September kit. We encourage you to visit each of their blogs (linked below), where they are sharing more project details. Let's get started!

Big, bold, and beautiful – that's how we would describe the sunflower that plays a starring role in this month's kit. It's a dream to color as a line art image and we have a fun technique twist this month as well. Have you guessed? Some of these sunflowers were colored with inks and a series of easy-to-use layering stencils! It's all included in the kit. The team will be back to share additional peeks on Saturday and Sunday, so you'll be able to see even more of the wonderful layering and coloring possibilities.

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 comments left across all countdown posts on the Hero Arts blog. The winner will be announced first thing Tuesday morning, September 7, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win. Good luck!

Happy stamping,

    Sunflowers are great for brightening any occasion. The designs shown here AE beautiful. I would never have thought to use the images as Debi and Mindy have done. And I must visit Jessica’s blo to see how she created the sunflowers on that black background. Stunning!
