My Monthly Hero March Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there and welcome to the My Monthly Hero March Kit release blog hop. You should have arrived here from the amazing Debby, but if you get lost along the way I have a full list of participants below.

 

What a great kit! Especially good for gardening enthusiasts but great for all round cards too. My first card uses the bunny stamp set and coordinating dies.

 

I started off by taking a piece of white cardstock and cutting this using one of the Rectangle Infinity dies. On to this I added a background for my image with Copic Markers. I added greens for the grass and then a light haze of blue for the sky. I took the fence die form the kit and cut this from white cardstock. I added blades of grass to the bottom so that it blended in to the background better. This was added to the panel with tape runner.

 

 

The rabbit holding the carrot (there are a few different bunnies in the set with different poses) was stamped on to white cardstock, coloured using Copic Markers and then cut out using the coordinating die. He was added to the panel with foam tape. the sentiment, from the same stamp set, was stamped to the left. The panel was added to a card base with a piece of  Foliage Layering Paper on the front, with foam tape.

My next card uses the gardening stamp set from the kit. It is filled with lots of different vegetables and can be used for lots of different occasions. I went with with notecard today.

 

 

I started off by stamping the basket on to a piece of watercolour paper using Antique Linen Distress Ink. Parts of the basket were then masked off as I went, to add the vegetables in to it. The little gardening fork was then stamped in front. The image was coloured using Distress Markers, water and a paint brush.

 

 

Once dry, I took the sentiment from the Many Everyday Messages set and stamped this on to the panel using brown ink. The panel was then adhered to a 4.25 x 4.25" kraft card base.
