Our friend Ilina Crouse is back again today, sharing more inspiration using the March My Monthly Hero kit. Ilina purchased her kit as soon as it was available, and has already enjoyed creating a bunch of cards. She's shared several here on our blog this weekend - but also visit Ilina's blog to watch a video where she shows you all of the kit contents! There are still a few kits available - get yours before they are gone! Now let's enjoy more of Ilina's beautiful work...

You can never have too many butterflies, so I made another card using the butterfly from the My Monthly Hero Kit. I stamped and die cut the butterfly, then colored it with Chameleon pens.

Next, I "chopped" off one of the corners of my white card base and adhered some patterned paper to make "full" corner again. Then I stamped the sentiment from and popped the butterfly up with mounting tape onto the card.

Last but not the least, for this card I again used some water coloring, just as I did on one of yesterday's cards. Today I stamped the flowers and leaves onto watercolor paper and embossed with, then watercolored the images.

Next, I stamped the sentiment from, cut the panel and adhered it to a notecard that was included in the kit. I finished the card with some sequins and beads.
