Hey there Arties!! I’m happy you have stopped by for the release day blog hop and video for the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero April 2022!

Our fun and floral April kit is a celebration of spring as well as the amazing people in all of our lives. It features a gorgeous cling background with bees and flowers. Three layering stencils make the coloring process easy; simply pair them with the inks and blending brush included in the kit, and you'll quickly have cards in fresh spring colors. Combine the "amazing" word die with the mix and match messages in the stamp set for expressing thanks, celebrating birthdays, sending Mother's Day greetings and more. We've also included dies for highlighting select images from the background, and the kit is rounded out with enamel embellishments which complement the ink colors perfectly.
