Hello.
Today I am thrilled to be participating in a blog hop to celebrate the launch of the April My Monthly Hero kit from Hero Arts.
The April kit is beautiful - it contains a gorgeous floral stamp set, 5 coordinating dies, a dot sheet of high quality Daniel Smith watercolours, a waterbrush, cardstock, notecards and pearls. Everything you need and all for $29.99.
To create my card, I stamped, heat embossed and watercoloured the centre part of the flower and die cut it out. I stamped the sentiment on some of the heavyweight card from the kit, and trimmed it down, adding the flower and pearls. I adhered the strip to a Lilac notecard that I had splattered with more watercolour.
The paint colour I used for my card is Quinacridone Violet and it is the perfect colour match to the notecard and pearls in the kit. Love how well coordinated it all is.
