Here's a project that uses the May My Monthly Hero kit:


I can't get enough of that gorgeous Window Fancy Die that is part of the main kit.  Isn't it gorgeous and so wonderfully details?  I finished off that panel with a sentiment from the kit:

It's the little things that count

It's been heat embossed in white.  I teamed it up with a panel that I used the new AF417   Ombre Reactive Spring Day


In case you didn't see my other kit project that was on the Hero Arts blog yesterday:


Same concept, different colored cardstock...wow, what a difference, eh?

Your cards are beautiful ! It's really great to be able to compare the two versions of colors and black paper.
Beautiful cards! Love the colors of the backgrounds and that you used a light blue to die cut on the first one. And I'm a big fan of silhouettes so I love the back die cut. Love this kit!
