Imagine: My Monthly Hero Kit February 2024 | Hero Arts

February 7, 2024

Hello Crafty Friends! I wanted to stop back in to share another card using the AMAZING new February 2024 My Monthly Hero Kit! I had so much fun with this kit and wanted to share a card using the Premium Kit and the AMAZING stencil in the kit! So let’s get started!

For today’s card I started with a piece of Luxe White Watercolor paper. I then created a background using Hero Arts Sprays in: Royal Purple and Gold, Black & Shimmer, as well as Ocean Blue and Gold! I love the colors within these sprays and the intensity of color and sparkle! They are so fun to work with! I started with 1 layer, using 1 color at a time. I then spritzed sections of the panel with water, dried with my heat tool, then picked up color with my paper towel. I repeated this process a couple times until I had the texture I was looking for. I then set the panel aside to completely dry.

Next I placed the stencil from the Premium Kit on top of my colorful panel. I then applied Hero Arts Paste in Gold using my palette knife. I applied the paste in various sections. I then removed the stencil, cleaned the stencil, and allowed the paste to dry.

Once the panel was dry I trimmed the panel using Hero Arts Nesting Rectangle Dies. I kept the extra sections that were die cut and trimmed these to add to the top of the card base once adhered. I encourage you to keep you extras, they are perfect ways to add more detail and layers to your cards! Next I die cut a circle from the center of the panel using Circle Nesting Dies. I die cut 3 more from Dove Whie card stock to add layers to the center of the card. I adhered these together. Next I adhered the panel, as well as the circle layers to my A2 card base. I then adhered the strips of paper in sections onto the panel.

I then die cut the word Imagine from the kit 4 times using white card stock. Next I adhered these together with liquid glue. I then stamped the sub sentiments using Pitch Black Ink. Finally I adhered these to my card front. I had so much fun with this kit! I truly encourage you to check them out, there is so much value in the kits, it is truly the best Happy Mail each month! Be sure to check out the new kit, as well as all the other Add Ons this month!
