Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm here today to share my last Guest Designer Project for Brutus Monroe!! I've created a STUNNING Card combining a Stenciled Glitter Glaze Background with Stamped Images!! 

I started by using a piece of Brutus Monroe Wagon Cardstock!! I sprayed the back of my Brutus Monroe Mermaid Lagoon ~ Tangled Wave Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray and adhered it over the Cardstock!! Then I took some of the Brutus Monroe Glitter Glaze in Scarlet and applied it over the Stencil using my Stencil Pal!! 

I removed the Stencil and washed it along with my Stencil Pal and set it aside to Dry!! I LOVE the way the colors work together!! It the PERFECT combination!! 

Next I Stamped and Embossed the Butterfly Image from the Take Flight Stamp Set and used Copic Markers in (Y11, YR23, R02, R05, R08, E41, N6 & N10) to color in the Image!! I added some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the Body of the Butterfly and the some of the Details on the Wings!! I also added some Midas Shimmer Pen to add some Gold Shimmer to the Yellow areas of the Butterfly!! I Stamped the Sentiment from the Sunshine Sunflower Stamp Set and inked it with some Zest Ink to make it POP!! 

I adhered the Butterfly Image after Fussy Cutting it out onto the Stenciled Card Panel using some Brutus Monroe Foam Tape!! I also added Foam Tape to the Sentiment and adhered it underneath the Butterfly!! A few Gold Foiled Pearls were scattered around to finish off the Design!! I layered a piece of Brutus Monroe Macchiato Cardstock and Die Cut a Scalloped Frame from some Brutus Monroe Lunch Bag Cardstock that I inked with some Walnut Distress Ink to tie it all together!! I adhered the Panel onto a Not Your Mamas Cadrbase and my card is ready to send to BRIGHTEN someone's Day!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope I've INSPIRED you to give the Stenciled Glitter Glaze Technique a try with your Stamped Images!! Not only do they add texture, but the Sparkle and Shine are just STUNNING!! 

Have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm back today to share a STUNNING Birthday Card using some of the NEW Brutus Monroe Foil from the 2019 Fall and Winter Release for my 2nd post as a Guest Designer!! 

I started by Stamping and Embossing the Enjoy Sentiment from the Take Flight Stamp Set using some of the Raven Ink and then added some Clear Embossing Powder!! I Heat Set it and then cut a Piece of the Gold Static Foil and ran it through my Laminating Machine on the 1 setting!! I LOVE the way Embossed Sentiments look when they are foiled!! 

Next I Foiled some of the Therm O Web Toner Sheets with the Brutus Monroe Gold Static Foil and then used a Scalloped Frame Die to Die Cut the Foiled Toner Sheet!! I LOVE the added POP of Shine it adds to the Card and it also ties in the Embossed and Foiled Sentiment too!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Happy Birthday Sentiment underneath the Foiled Sentiment and then I Stamped and Embossed the Butterfly Image above the Foiled Sentiment!! I inked the background with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink and then used some Black Paint to add some Paint Splatters!! I wanted to add some 3D Dimension to the Butterfly so I Stamped and Embossed it again onto another piece of Cardstck and Fussy Cut it out after Coloring it in with Copic Markers!! I used Y11, Y15 & YR23  V01, V15 & V09  N2 and used a Black Marker to color the edges of the Image for a seamless look!! Then I used some Zots Bling Adhesive Dots to adhere jut the center of the Butterflies together!! I Layered it together and adhered it to a Brutus Monroe Heather Cardbase!! Some Midas Nuvo Shimmer Pen was added so the Yellow parts of the Butterfly for some added Sparkle!! 

I LOVE how it turned out and I hope it gives you some ideas on ways to use those AMAZING New Foils!! 

THANKS so much for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS Week!!

Shrink Film Butterfly Earrings and Gift Tags w/ Brutus Monroe!!

Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm SO EXCITED to be Guest Designing for Brutus Monroe!! I LOVE SO MANY of the AMAZING Products and had such a FUN time creating with them!!  I LOVE giving Handmade Gifts and being able to use my Stamps in more than one way!! I have two different techniques for creating some Butterfly Earrings that ANYONE is sure to Cherish!! Plus it's such a simple process that you could even have your Friends or Kids get crafty with you too!! 

First I created the Stenciled Cardstock to create my Tags!! 

I started by using a piece of Brutus Monroe Wagon Cardstock!! I sprayed the back of my Brutus Monroe Mermaid Lagoon ~ Tangled Wave Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray and adhered it over the Cardstock!! Then I took some of the Brutus Monroe Glitter Glaze in Scarlet and applied it over the Stencil using my Stencil Pal!! 

I removed the Stencil and washed it along with my Stencil Pal and set it aside to Dry!! I LOVE the way the colors work together!! It the PERFECT combination!! 

Next I Stamped the Butterfly Image from the Take Flight Stamp Set onto the Shrink Film using StazOn Brown Pigment Ink and used Copic Markers in (Y11, YR23, R02, R05, R08, E41, N6 & N10) to color in the Image on the Backside of the Inked Shrink Film!! I wanted to create a STUNNING Watercolored look!! I LOVE the results!! 

Next I Fussy Cut the Butterfly Images out and used my Heat Gun to Shrink them!! I LOVE the way they turned out!! Almost like they were hand painted!! I adhered the Earring Backs onto the back using some E6000 Glue that I placed onto the Earring Back using a Toothpick as it doesn't take much Glue!! Then set them aside for 24 Hours to cure!! 

I Die Cut the Tag from some Brutus Monroe Not Your Mamas Cardstock and Die Cut the Bottom portion from the Stenciled Wagon Cardstock and adhered it to the bottom of the Tag after inking with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink!! I also Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the Taking Flight Stamp Set and then Pierced a couple holes into the Tag to place the Earrings onto the Tag!!  

If you wanted to use just the Image alone, you'd just Stamp the Butterfly Image onto the Brutus Monroe Shrink Film and Fussy Cut them out then Shrink them using your Heat Gun!! 

I followed the same steps to adhere the Earring backs and then I create the Gift Tag!! I LOVE that you customize these for the recipient and their tastes!! Such a FUN Gift to both create and receive!!  

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope I've INSPIRED you you to give this a try for any gifts you may need to give, or as a FUN Project to make with a Friend or Child!! No matter what I KNOW you'll LOVE it!!
