April My Monthly Hero - Release + Giveaway!

Hello and welcome! It's kit release day over at Hero Arts, yippee!! I'm blog hopping with a fabulous list of artists, introducing you to this month's kit and add-on products. You should have found me by way of my sweet friend Heather's blog - if you didn't, start back at the very beginning with Hero Arts!

I made several projects for the landing page over on the Hero Arts website, so I thought I'd share a closer look at those cards.


I love the cute little ballerina dress in the kit, so I stamped it repeatedly and watercolored it pink.


Next, this super fabulous silhouette. It's hard to see in the photo, but I went over her dress with Wink of Stella, so it shimmers. The gems compliment it well.


And finally, a fun little tag with the gorgeous ballet legs, again watercolored. I tied pearls at the top of the tag instead of ribbon or twine - those pearls come in the kit.


Here's a look at the April My Monthly Hero kit, isn't it sweet??

And I'm part of an amazing blog hop today! Please visit all of the links below, and leave comments as you go! Hero Arts is giving away a kit to one lucky commenter, drawn from the comments left on all of the blogs. You have until Sunday, April 9 at 11:59pm to get your comments in. Check the Hero Arts blog for the winner!
