Hero Arts - January 2022 My Monthly Hero Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY
Hey there Arties!! I’m happy you have stopped by for the release day blog hop and video for the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero January 2022!
The January release was inspired by a trip to Paris, and the locks left by lovers and dreamers on the bridges there. This month's kit is great to get started on your Valentine's Day projects, but can be used to show friendship and appreciation throughout the year. The focal point is a gorgeous cover plate die, with ornate detail surrounding a keyhole. It can be used alone, or layered over any number of beautiful scenes. To get you started, we included a lovely Color Layering stamp set featuring a rope swing covered in inviting greenery. There are ink cubes which work well with the stamps, and the kit is rounded out with some iridescent red gems.

Steps for Creating this Card
First, I stenciled in the peonies with two different strengths of the Ultra Pink and Emerald Green Inks on a half sheet of Dove White Cardstock.
Then, I stamped over it with the Peonies Bunch stamp and some Intense Black Ink.
Next, I die cut the array out with the coordinating frame cut.
After that, I die cut the Chain Link Fence die out of Peony cardstock.
Then, I added some Ultra Pink ink to the front of an A2-sized panel of Peony cardstock with a blending brush.
Next, I trimmed the panel down a 1/4” on all sides with the Tim Holtz Deckle Trimmer and popped it up on the front of a Dove White card base with foam tape.
After that, I stamped the sentiment onto some Pitch Black cardstock with Clear Ink and melted White Embossing Powder, then fussy cut it out.
Finally, I stacked the elements together over the front with Precision Glue.
