Hey everyone. Welcome to the Hero Arts MMH August 2023 countdown. This month’s kits will inspire you to get out and travel this summer. It’s full of beautiful images and dies along with coordinating sentiments.
Also this month you can really stretch your imagination with adding in some mix media elements to your card. For my card today I used the new Hero Arts Two-Tone Metallic Sprays with the Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors and Hero Arts Brass embossing powder.
I used to be very uncomfortable with mix media but now I feel like I can manage it.
My tip is to just not overthink it. Use products you are familiar with and take it from there. Then you can explore adding more products and techniques. See you back here on Monday for the full release. Take care!
