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.

Today I decided to feature some of the fun Additional Add-ons for the month:


Let's start at the bottom and work our way up.  I started with panels from the Floral Mix Layering Paper Pack.  The smaller panel has been stamped with the Pretty Moon Spiral Bold Prints in silver.  The contrast in the colors is really fun.  I stamped the kitties from Mewn & Back and colored them with Zig Clean Color Markers.  Did you figure out how I made the moon?  I used the Circle Infinity Dies in one size and then layered a smaller size on top to create a moon shape.  The Pattern Celestial Paper that comes in the kit is really lovely.


The sentiment is from the Dream Big set and has been heat embossed in white.

In case you missed it, I was up on the Hero Arts Blog on Saturday with this Countdown to Creativity project:


My focus on that project was the Main Kit (sold out)  I added some gold accessories to make things fancy!

That's it for me, next up is the fabulous Michelle Short!  In case you get lost along the way, here's the hop listing:
