I have four cards using pieces from the Hero Arts kit but I have also added in several add-ons. This first card showcases the new Smile Stamp and Cut along with the Bold Graphic Confetti Die....
I did a little ink blending on the background, then added the Confetti die over the top in vellum. I added the "smile" die and sentiments on the card front with a few little dew drops for detail.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Every Which Way Stencil grabbed my attention and, of course, I saw it and thought it needed a rainbow....
I used some Distress Oxides to create the background and then added that gorgeous hello die cut to the front of the card. I grabbed a few more dew drops...well...because I want to use them on every card. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I adore the Hello There sentiment from the kit stamp set. I inked it up with a Hero Arts Ombre ink pad and then colored over the shadow with a black pen just for a different look.
I used the confetti image from the kit stamp set in a light gray in the background and then went back in with one of the stars inked up in black. I added a couple mats under the sentiment and then popped it up on fun foam to finish off the card.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally my last card...
I used the Alphabet Window Fancy Die with a pice of alcohol inked up yupo paper. I love all the color in this. This die would make the best teacher card so I added the "thank you" die in black cardstock.

There is so much goodness in this month's kit and the way you've used it is really beautiful! I couldn't choose a favorite if I had to. I love color and you knocked it out of the park with all the beautiful colors you've used. The confetti die, the sentiments and the shimmer spray are things I MUST have! Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration!
