November My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #2 + Giveaway

Hi there! We are continuing the countdown to the release of the November My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, November 4 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. We will be here all weekend, sharing inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Nichol for another look at this fabulous kit!

Hello! I am so excited to share this house front card featuring Copic colored die cuts from the November My Monthly Hero Kit! Everything from my kit was die cut from smooth white cardstock and colored in with Copic Markers and assembled to create this holiday scene card.

The bricks on the house were colored with W00 and W4. The door and light fixtures were colored with W6 and W8.

All the greenery was colored with G21, G24, and G28 and the planters, letter, and bows colored with R35, R37, and R39.

The door mat was stamped with the stamp using Intens-ified Black Ink and the "Welcome" was stamped with Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being colored in with E55 and E57.

The wreath and topiaries were adhered to the scene with foam adhesive squares.

A background behind the windows was colored with Y11, Y08, and Y17 to give the illusion of lights on in the house.

I hope you've enjoyed this die cut holiday card created with the November My Monthly Hero Kit!
