Today I'm sharing two different takes on using the November 2019 My Monthly Hero Kit . The first card (shown on the right) features mostly dies from the kit used to create a front porch scene for card front. The images are colored with Copic Markers. The second card (the one on the left) features creating a card base from Bristol Smooth Cardstock and creating an interactive front door scene with dies from the kit. Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers were used so there wouldn't be bleed through to the inside of the card.
All the elements from the kit was die cut from smooth white cardstock and colored in with Copic Markers and assembled to create this holiday scene card.
The bricks on the house were colored with W00 and W4. The door and light fixtures were colored with W6 and W8.
All the greenery was colored with G21, G24, and G28 and the planters, letter, and bows colored with R35, R37, and R39.
The door mat was stamped with the stamp using Intens-ified Black Ink and the "Welcome" was stamped with Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being colored in with E55 and E57.
The wreath and topiaries were adhered to the scene with foam adhesive squares.
A background behind the windows was colored with Y11, Y08, and Y17 to give the illusion of lights on in the house.
For my second card, I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 8 1/2". I die cut the front porch/door die from the front panel of the card and colored in the design with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
Bricks/door frame : Brick Beige, Warm Gray 2
Door : Deep Brown, Brick Beige
Greenery : Olive Green, Mid Green
Bows : Deep Red, Pale Rose
Lights : Natural Gray, Green Gray
Topiaries : Olive Green, Mid Green, Mid Brown, Beige, Deep Red, Pale Rose
Wreath : Olive Green, Mid Green, Deep Red, Pale Rose
Doormat : Mid Brown, Beige
The benefit of using Zig Clean Color markers here is that they don't bleed through the cardstock like Copic or other alcohol ink markers to, leaving the inside of the card nice and clean.
The wreath and topiaries were adhered to the design with foam adhesive squares.
For the inside of the card, the staircase, tree, dog, hat, mouse, ribbon, and present were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Inkon3 Fadeout No Line Coloring Ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
Dog : Mid Brown, Mustard, Blender
Hat : Deep Red, Pale Rose, Warm Gray 2, Blender
Tree : Olive Green, Mid Green, Deep Red, Pale Rose, Deep Blue, Haze Blue, Mustard, Blender, Purple
Staircase : Deep Brown, Brick Beige
Present : Olive Green, Mid Green, Deep Red, Pale Rose
Mouse : Green Gray, Warm Gray 2, Deep Red, Pale Rose
Lemon Drop Reactive Ink was softly applied to the inside of the card with a blending brush.
The images were die cut with the coordinating Main Kit Dies and Staircase Fancy Die before being assembled and adhered inside the card as shown. A sentiment from the Main Kit was stamped with black ink inside the card design and another sentiment stamped on the front porch mat.
