January 2022 My Monthly Hero Release + Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome! Today is launch day at Hero Arts for the January Monthly Release! Today I'm featuring some purple goodness.

This first card was made with items from the main January My Monthly Hero kit. I used the key hole coverplate as a background element by simply putting a mat over the area of the key hole. The ornate details of the coverplate make a great border.

I turned the leafy branch into something more like wisteria using Hero Arts Orchid Bold Ink and Amethyst Pigment Ink on a Cup O' Joe double-stamped branch. There is a bit of Pool Party Reactive Ink blended onto the background, and the message was done with Onyx Pigment Ink and then clear embossed.

For my next card, I worked with the Peony Bunch stamp set, dies and coordinating stencils. I inked them up again using Orchid Bold Ink and Amethyst Pigment Ink. The leaves are Green Apple Reactive Ink.

The background was lightly blended with more Orchid ink, then topped with one of my favorite bits in this release, the Chain Linked Fancy Die. I die cut it a couple times from gold Glitter Paper.
