Welcome back to the Countdown to Creativity! The August My Monthly Hero Kit release day is Monday, August 3, at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. Now let's join Janette for another wonderful peek at this month's "Staycation" themed kit!
Hello friends! I am absolutely loving the versatility and colorability of this month's kit. Go big with scene building, or crisp and clean with a focal element. I've paired simple ink blending for a beachy vibe with a bit of scene building to create something similar to my own little paradise.
Recreate this dreamy escape by ink blending Indigo, Aegean and Soft Brown inks on 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" Dove White cardstock. Blend blue to teal and fade to white. Bring the brown up from the bottom, also fading softly to white.
Stamp chosen kit images in Intens-ified Black ink and Copic color. Die cut all images. Adhere images flat to blended panel, tucking and overlapping to build scene.
White Detail heat emboss large sentiment onto blended panel and small sentiment onto Pitch Black cardstock. Adhere completed panel with foam tape to folded card base.

I’ll just get a book and relax now…
Very cute kit. Luckily we live just a block from the ocean, so I can fantasize about moving all that furniture down onto the sand and lounging the day away listening to the ocean and relaxing in hammocks while sipping piña coladas in the shade. Love it!
Love your flower coloring on your plants. Great job.
Beautiful blending technique!
Gorgeous! Love the staycation theme of this kit already!!! So excited for the full reveal!
