Welcome to the Hero Arts "My Monthly Hero" December 2017 Card Kit Blog Hop! Hurray! As always, I'm happy to see you today and happy to share the fun new kit with you! This month's kit is full of gorgeous images from the desert! Beautiful die cuts, and cool stamps.... Such a creative and fabulous theme! I think you're going to love it. Everything for me conjures up images of Morocco and dancing lanterns and desert beauty....sigh... The MMH Kit this month will inspire you! I made a card to share today using my favorite sentiment from the kit.... I'd cross the Sahara for YOU! The Kit is called Magical Nights!

Loads of fun and inspiration for you today from wonderful fellow crafters! I'm always grateful to join the other ladies in this monthly hop. If you're new to my blog today - welcome! Have fun! Enjoy the hop today! I will always warn you, these kits sell out VERY FAST (usually the first day) so if you like it, don't hesitate! I know I say that every time, but it's true! Get it while you can! They are such a great value! Each kit is $34.99 and this month's kit has a value of $80.00!!
Let's take a look at my project! I used the gorgeous new city skyline die to create a backdrop for the camel and palm tree. And, of course, that perfect sentiment! I started with a white A2 card base and layered a pretty bright blue paper. I die cut the skyline once from black paper and once from kraft paper and layered them slightly offset.
I stamped the sentiment onto a kraft layer and then put that part over the skyline to look like the desert in the foreground. I stamped and die cut out the palm tree and camel. I colored the camel with Copic Markers.
I stamped a few stars in the night time sky and added clear Hero Arts gemstones. Really clean and classic I think!
Here are my Copic color selections for this project.
The kit is available NOW! Yippeeeee! Below is a photo of THE ENTIRE CARD KIT CONTENTS! Beautiful images for Christmas and Winter crafting, fun tags, stamps, dies, ink and more! This is a great value for $34.99! The items sold separately retail for $80.00 or more! Hero Arts is VERY generous with their beautiful kits! The other supplies I used are listed below in my links.

Wanda, I am glad you used the camel and backdrop too. I too like to use Kraft card stock and it works really well here as the sand (I will be using that idea soon). Thank you for giving us a clear description of how you put together your design using the Hero Arts stamps.
