Greetings! Today I have a video that uses 2 of the Hero Studio Monthly Kits from Hero Arts. The theme this month is Sleepy Hollow, so we’ve got a fabulous Halloween theme happening! But stick around and watch even if Halloween isn’t your thing, because I’m going to make a cool mixed media background that you can adapt to suit your style.

Here are photos of my bonus card!
As I mentioned in the video, I heat embossed the spider webs all over the card with VersaMark Ink and Gold Embossing Powder. My frame has a gold detail layer instead of copper, and I added 2 of the layering pumpkins to the frame.
This has an elegant, yet creepy look and I just love it!
I hope you give some of these techniques a try. Please be sure to check out all of the latest releases from Hero Arts. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
