I made a ton of projects with the kit - if you head over to the Hero Arts website, you will see them on the main homepage slider, as well as the page for the December kit. While I love the man and woman images from the kit (aka Aladdin and Jasmine, am I right?), I'm showing this one here today...
There's so many awesome things going on with this card! First, I colored the camel with my Zig Clean Color markers, and die cut him with the matching Frame Cut.
For the background, I used the stencil that's included in the kit (isn't it gorgeous??) with some embossing paste. Hero Arts included TCW's modeling paste as an optional add-on this month. This stuff is super fun - I recommend you give it a try if you've never used it. I put a little pile of it on my craft mat, and tinted it with an Orchid re-inker. It also works to tint it with your ink pad. I'll be sharing an Instagram story about how to do this today - be sure to check it out if you're interested, I'm stampinlibby on IG. After the embossing paste was completely dry, I used the frame portion of the window die cut included in the kit to cut out the shape. A bit of Stickles on top added a little shimmer, and I finished the card with a message from the kit and some gold glitter cardstock from my stash.
Here's a look at this month's awesome kit. It comes with FIVE exclusive inks - very nice!
