For my card, I used some of the smaller images in the set to create a background. I love coloring with colored pencils on kraft cardstock, so that's what I did today.
Just some simple stamping and coloring. I stamped the images randomly with black ink, then colored with my Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils. To give it a little something extra, I dotted the background with a Copic marker (V22), and added a little Star Dust Stickles to the hearts for sparkle. Then I finished it all off with a message from the May My Monthly Hero kit.
