Hero Arts is giving away one kit as a prize to one blog reader - selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Giveaway closes Sunday, January 15th at 11:59pm, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the  following week.

Here's the card that I designed especially for today's hop, I was thoroughly inspired by THIS Debby Hughes beauty:


I'm a huge fan of non-traditional colors so green was calling my name for this Valentine's Day card...of course, it could easily be an everyday card too!  I used the beautiful Bloom Heart from the Main Kit.  I heat embossed it in white on vellum and die cut it out.  The main panel has sentiments from the Sealed With a Kiss set.  I used the hearts from the Sealed With a Kiss and Love Notes sets.


I did a quick watercolor wash using my Peerless Watercolors and topped off my card with some sequins from my stash.  

In case you missed my other January My Monthly Hero Kit posts, here are some other ways you can use the new products:

Ooh, love, love this!!! If someone had randomly shown me this card, I would have immediately said that's an "Amy" card. You did a fantastic job with the watercoloring and that sweet vellum heart, especially with the artsy font of the add-on kit. Love this and you are seriously bad for my wish list! I'm so NOT a Valentine's Day girl, but I have three sets on my list and they are all because of you. :-)
