March My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #5 + giveaway!

MMH Countdown to Creativity

For this Countdown to Creativity post, leading up the launch of the My Monthly Hero kit on Monday, March 7 at noon eastern, I wanted to show you another card using the add-on stamp set, called CL964 Marianne's Flowers. This is the same set that Marianne introduced you to in Idea #4. But I'm showing you that it's perfectly lovely to use, even if you don't own any Copic markers!

To create my card, I selected the small cluster of flowers from Marianne's Flowers. Using ordinary colored pencils, I colored and fussy-cut the image four times. On the fourth image, I cut a single flower and discarded the rest of the flowers. I layered some patterned and solid papers along the lower edge of the card, and then covered the card front with a panel of yellow layering paper that I heat-embossed with hero_product_link sku="CG689"] using hero_product_link sku="PW118"]. After wrapping the card with a satin bow, I adhered the colored flowers to the card. I added a sentiment banner that I created with yet another add-on to the March kit - DC184 Ribbon Messages Stamp & Cut. I heat-embossed with a sentiment from hero_product_link sku="CL954"] onto the banner.
