For my first project, I played with one of the optional add-on stamp sets, called Come Fly With Me.
I really love this beautiful stamp set. It has wonderful, inspiring messages - which is the focus of my card. I used the new Sunburst Bold Prints for the background. I didn't actually do a perfect job stamping and embossing the background, but I didn't mind - I'm liking the somewhat "distressed" look. I added lots of watercolor - I used our gorgeous new Liquid Watercolors, which will be in the Hero Arts store on February 15!
Here's a look at the Come Fly With Me stamp set I used:
And this is the full February 2018 My Monthly Hero kit. It's so much fun!
