April My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #5 + Giveaway!

Here we are with our last countdown post leading up to the April My Monthly Hero kit and add-ons release on Monday, April 3rd at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Jess is here to show you a card using the main kit and one of the Paper Layering add-ons!

Good morning! Jess here with a card using the gorgeous Paper Layering Eiffel Tower with the April My Monthly Hero Kit!

You Are One of a Kind by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero ArtsI wanted to do something a little dramatic but in a subtle way…makes sense, right? Ha! I started by flicking gold metallic paint onto a white card panel. I let that dry while I die-cut the Paper Layering Eiffel Tower using the shimmery grey cardstock that’s included in the kit! Then I stamped the gorgeous silhouette of the lady onto the card with Versafine and heat-embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder. I also stamped her clutch and necklace with Versamark and heat-embossed them with Gold Embossing Powder. Finally I stamped the sentiment onto the shimmery pink cardstock that’s included in the kit and adhered it with a little foam mounting tape.

You Are One of a Kind by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero ArtsAnd that’s it! Lots of sparkle and shimmer with a fun pop of color! Thanks so much for visiting and have a fabulous day!
