Here's a look at one of the projects I created this month. Of course I had to make this adorable skater wearing purple and green, because hello I am me! I colored her with my Copics. I colored the ice with blue and gray Copics as well, then went over it with the shimmery iridescent ink included in the kit. I just squeezed a little out onto my craft mat (an acrylic block or palette would work great as well), and painted it on with a paintbrush. It's super hard to photograph but in real life it is spectacular!
I used some of the silver glitter paper in the kit for the background, and added a fun star embellishment with a dot of liquid glue.
If you'd like to see more of the cards I created this month, take a look at the October kit landing page. I'll share more details about these cards over the next few days.
And here's a look at the full October My Monthly Hero kit - so much goodness!
Now it's time to hop. I can't wait to see what all of these rockstars came up with! Like every month, there's a giveaway - be sure to comment on every blog in the hop, and a lucky winner drawn from the comments will receive a free kit! The winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog. Comment by Sunday night, October 7th!
