Bouquet of Flowers with January My Monthly Hero

I do love it when I get crafty goodies in the mail!  One way to guarantee it is to sign up for a monthly kit.  Hero Arts does not disappoint!  Love January's kit!  Not only does it have a boat load of dies that I'll be using frequently it also came with simple perfect sentiments and a sentiment strip die.  

If you don't watch Jennifer McGuire Ink videos, you are missing out.  Her video, using this kit, die cut the flowers twice, once with green and then another color for the bloom.  She then colored edges with sponge daubers for dimension.  Guess, what?  It was fun and pretty fast.  I then glued the blooms to stems.  Next I used some tissue paper to wrap my bouquet - flowers come in tissue paper, right?  A small ribbon tied it up after I arranged then glued the flowers and greenery.  Some pen work adds detail.  My background is the Stipple Hex Cover plate, it's backed with fun foam and adhered to my top folding card base.  The sentiment and die strip is from the kit, a Stardust pen adds sparkle.  Foam tape raises the strip over the bouquet.

Have a great day and keep on crafting!
