It's time for our next countdown peek! The April My Monthly Hero kit will be available to pre-order on Monday, April 6 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Now let’s join Ilina, who is sharing some more fabulous inspiration using this month's kit!
Hi everyone! I am in love with the April kit and I believe you will be too. I decided to depict a desert Australian scene. To make the card I started with piece of Canary Cardstock and temporarily adhered the stencil to it. I ink blended Butter Bar, Fresh Peach and Soft Cantaloupe Shadow inks, starting from lightest around the sun, and darkest on the edges.
Next secure the stencil on piece of Sand Cardstock and ink blend Soft Brown and Cup o' Joe Shadow inks on the sand part. Trim it to only have the sand edge. Adhere on top of the Canary layer using foam tape.
Ink blend Fresh Peach and Soft Cantaloupe inks on Canary Cardstock. Using Cup'o Joe ink stamp the boulder. Die cut using the coordinating die.
Stamp the tree using Moss and Cup O'Joe inks on Dove White Cardstock. Die cut using coordinating dies, ink blend some Butter Bar and Soft Brown inks to blend in with the background. Stamp the kangaroo on Sand Cardstock using Cup O'Joe ink. Stamp the sentiment in the middle of the sun and assemble your panel and adhere to a top folding Sand notecard.
And that's it!

Ohh, I love the kangaroo. I like how you did the orange and yellow sky to give the impression of a pretty sunset.
I am so excited for this release!

What a great scene! I love the colors and the tree and kangaroo!
