Hello all and thank you for stopping by today to help celebrate the launch of February My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts (more about the kit and blog hop below).
February kit will appeal a lot of those who live where the weather changes often and sunshine gets quickly replaced by rain and wind and later a gorgeous rainbow. Check out another card idea using February kit I posted on Hero Arts blog a few days ago.

CARD DETAILS
I created a very simple, yet fun and interactive card – the entire front panel is attached using a wobble spring and wobbles freely creating a WOW factor (similar to what I shared in my post here – a wobbler Birthday Card).
I stamped several images from the Fun In The Rain add-on stamp set in Hero Arts Intense Black ink onto white paper. I used Copic markers and did some very quick coloring (as always, I went with my go-to Copic color combos), I’m listing specific colors at the end of this post.
I cut images out using coordinating dies and my Platinum 6 die cutting machine and foam mounted them onto a Fog cardstock panel cut to about 3 3/4 ” square. I also stamped a sentiment directly onto the panel and it reads “You Brighten Up My Day” and added several water drops around the piggy playing the puddle.
Since this card is a full front panel wobbler I wanted to mention a little trick I employed to help stabilize the panel and keep it flat (sometimes it tends to lean to one side and make your card look weird). I added triple layer of foam adhesive as shown in the photo, but I did not adhere it down onto the card (it is only adhered onto the top panel). So foam adhesive works just a cushion preventing front panel from leaning to the side. Since it is not adhered on one side it allows the panel to wobble freely.
