Hello friends!! It’s release day!! Today over at Hero Arts the new My Monthly Hero Kit is now available!! This month’s kit is so much fun!! I had a blast playing with the brilliant masking dies and made two holiday cards!
To create these cards I first stamped the Christmas tree from the set in Green Apple ink onto two white top-folding card bases. I then colored in the star and ornaments and also added some shading to the boughs with copic markers.
Once I finished coloring the images I then die cut several masks out of contact paper and then placed them over the stamped trees. Next, I either stamped the background stamp or ink blended the background with Splash, Blue Hawaii, and INTENS-ified Black Ink.
When I finished the backgrounds I then splattered them with white paint. Once the paint had dried I then removed the masks.
Next, I stamped sentiments from the Holiday Blessings Stamp Set in either INTENS-ified Black Ink or in Embossing & Watermark Ink and then white heat embossed.

Cute cards! Love the woodcut look.
Pretty cards from a great set! Thanks.
Beautiful cards — I love the one with the multiple trees! I can see how the masking dies really make a difference with that technique so you can blend the background rather than color it in!
The Lino cut style is really a fun change!
