Hello and welcome as we continue the countdown to the release of the April My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, April 1st at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We will be here for the rest of the weekend, sharing inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Michelle for another look at this fabulous kit.
Hello there, Michelle here. Another wonderful kit this month! There are lots of dies to make wonderful scenes in the kit, but today, I thought I would use just one of them for a clean and simple look.
I started off by die cutting one of the landscape/building dies from Dove White Cardstock. This die has an open end at the bottom so I could place the die towards the top of the panel. I then sat this aside to work on my background. I took a Top Folded Card Base and started blending inks on top to create a sunset.
Using a blending brush to get a smooth blend, I started with Butter Bar and Dandelion at the bottom and moved up to Soft Cantaloupe and Orange Soda. I finished off with Pale Tomato at the top. I took the sentiment from the kit stamp set and stamped this on top with black ink. I then added the scene panel on top with foam tape to finish the card.
Win a kit before you can buy it! Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post! We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all the comments left across all countdown posts, and announce the winner first thing Monday morning, April 1st, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific.

Beautiful! Love the simplicity and the blended sky – could be a sunrise or sunset!
Michelle I think the colours you used in the sky are so lovely. I am a CAS person in my cardmaking style & I really appreciate your card. It makes me think of the middle east & I can just imagine the desert coming right up to the base of the building. Such a different take on what’s been revealed so far. Thanks!
Such a classy and elegant design!
Loved how you colored the background and cutting the die in white cardstock .It really gives the die a focal point in your card. Hero Arts dies are so detailed and they cut perfectly too!
Beautiful job blending the sunset!
