Hello and welcome as we begin the countdown to the release of the April My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, April 1 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. Our Creative Team will be here for the next three days sharing ideas for using the kit. Stay tuned for more inspiration all weekend long! Now let's join Caly for a first look at the kit...
Hi, Friends! It's Caly with you today sharing a card made using the April My Monthly Hero Kit! The kit is die-focused to create an Italian scene and it can change with the different elements that are available and I hope my take on this card inspires you!
You can create your Italian scene with a variety of mediums and colors. Today, I'm focusing on a more realistic view (from what I imagine) with more neutral colors.
I've ink-blended each of my panels today. You can ink-blend after die-cutting also, but for my pieces, I ink-blended before color so the edges show no harsh ink coverage.
These are the following ink colors that I used for my card:
Caramel: Bridge
Soft Apricot: Buildings
Dandelion: light under building die-cuts
Wet Cement: Birds, clothing line, bottom fo buildings
Aquatic: Water die-cut
Indigo: Water - on card front (under die-cut water panel)
Dusty Blue: Sky
Intense Black: Sentiment
I hope you enjoyed my take on this Italian scene. There will be more on Monday's blog hop and I can't wait to share that with you also!

This takes me back to our trip to Italy a few years ago! Beautiful card and the colors are gorgeous. Now I have to go pull out the scrapbook I made and take a trip down memory lane…
Such a beautiful card! I have been to Italy and it reminds me of the pretty country there!
This is a very beautiful card thst can be used for any occasion. I want this kit
I’ve never been to Italy but your card temps me to travel. I just adore the card. The water. die will be so useful.
I love day-dreaming about the places I still want to visit and this card definitely takes me to what I visualize Venice to be like and now I can make a card to match my vision, I love it!! I’m thinking this kit is going to be right up my alley (or waterway lol). Thanks Caly for sharing your beautiful card and for the inspiration! (mardy14@bellsouth.net)
