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 June 2022!
Head under the sea with our June My Monthly Hero release. A beautiful mermaid greets you, with hair flowing and tail shimmering. She's accompanied by a colorful fish and jelly, with seagrass and coral surrounding her. Pearls are an accent to this kit, with an image, messages, and embellishments uniting the theme. The kit is rounded out with a Reactive Ink palette and brush, perfect for watercoloring the images or creating gorgeous underwater backgrounds.

Project #1 — Pearl of a Friend
Supplies:
Copic Markers (listed individually in the steps below)
Gemini Jr Die Cutting Machine ($139.99 at Scrapbook dot com)
Steps to Creating this Card
First I stamped out the mermaid and clam images from the kit onto some Dove White Cardstock with Intens-ified Black Ink and colored it in with YR27, YR24, YR12, E18, E42, E40, BG78, BG75, BG99, BG96, G09, G07, G04, G02, R27.
Next, I die cut them out and set them aside.
Then, I stamped out a scene of with Embossing and Watermark Clear Ink on the front of an Adriatic Cardstock panel with fish and bubbles and seaweed, and melted Clear Embossing Powder over it.
After that, I used a Blending Brush to add some Navy Ink to the top right and bottom left of the embossed panel to create a subtle ray of light diagonally down the middle.
Next, I trimmed the panel down a 1/4” on all sides with a guillotine trimmer and popped it up over another A2-sized panel of Adriatic Cardstock with foam tape.
Then, I heat embossed a sentiment from the kit with White Detail Embossing Powder on some Adriatic Cardstock and die cut it with a Nesting Circle Infinity Die.
After that, I popped it all up on the front of the embossed panel with foam tape.
To finish it off, I added some Seashore Sequin Mix here and there and called her done!

Steps for Creating this Card
First, I stamped the Antique Hero Map Bold Prints out on Antique Ivory cardstock with Cup O’ Joe Ink and trimmed it down with a deckle edge trimmer.
Then, I stamped the flowers, foliage and sentiment from the Message in a Bottle stamp set out on Dove White Cardstock and die cut them out. I used a bottle from the coordinating frame cuts for the sentiment.
Next, I added some Cup O’ Joe ink to the edges of the bottle with a blending brush and colored the wax on the top of the bottle with W7, W5, & W3 Copic Markers.
After that, I colored the flowers and foliage with E95, E93, BG99, BG96, and BG93 Copic Markers.
Then, I die cut a 12-point star out of the vellum.
Finally, I stacked it all up on the front of an A2-sized card base with foam tape.
