DECO FOIL + STENCILS

Hello Friends Welcome back for another Wednesday Project...using Brutus Monroe stamps and products, every Wednesday you can find a blog hop at the Brutus Monroe blog featuring a product or technique of the week!,  This week we will be featuring stencils and  the  new  Brutus Monroe and Decofoil line of foils. As you already noticed this new foils are very unique and there are many ways to use them.  Today I want to pair them with one of my favorite Brutus Monroe flower stamps and transfer gel ... 

CARD DETAILS:

To start this card I created the stenciled accent with the Brutus Monroe Polka stencil, Deco Foil Transfer Gel and Sunrise Foil to a white card base.  I cut a base of Lunch Bag  cardstock and adhere it to a white card base.  I also adhere the foiled piece to the corner of the card.   To finish this card I added a stamped image of the Conservatory Quotes flower arrangement I embossed with gilded embossing powder to go along with the beautiful foil.  To unify the look of the card I put some heat to the embossed image and use a piece of left over foil to adhere foil here and there on the flowers.

I put double sided tape to the flower arrangement and adhere it to the card base and add the sentiment with the same embossing powder.

Using Small Stamped Images

Hello Friends today I wanted to share a very cute card showing you how you can use some of the small images that come on most of your stamp sets, I find that this small images can help you create some quick and simple cards, and because they are small stamps you even save time on the coloring... 

CARD DETAILS:

For my card today I started with the background... Have you check out the amazing new Cloudy Sky Stencil? It is amazing to create a quick and beautiful skys, to color it I used Oxide Inks in colors Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio, I die cut this piece with the largest of the Fancy Frame dies.

I decided to use one of my favorite stamp sets called Special Delivery, this set has some cute critters and lots of mail related small images, I choose some letters in different sizes and a little birdie to create my card today. 

After I colored my little birdie, I cut and adhere all the small stamped images with 3D Foam, I also adhere some small sequin stars and I stamp the sentiment to a banner.

Now is your turn, look for those small stamps on your stamp sets and create quick and fun cards!

Have a wonderful day!

Hello Friends!!!

It is called BE UNIQUE and it comes with lots of amazing sentiments like this one... NORMAL IS BORING... I love it and live it every day, because definitely I am not NORMAL...hahaha anybody that knows me can tell you that!! Well now to the card.

CARD DETAILS:

I started with a white card base, I inked with Brutus Monroe Embossing ink and the Pugsley Stencil, I did a quick pass through it because I wanted a very organic look to it.  I added Icible Brutus Monroe Ultra Fine Embossing Powder.  I smooshed my current favorite Oxide colors Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers, I also added some water splashes mixed with Salty Ocean and  Seedless Preserves.  I color the bunny with  Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers with the same colors from the background to unify the design. 

I adhere the piece to a black card base and stamped the awesome sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear embossing powder.

I loved the end result of this card and hope you liked it too.

Graduation Congrats/Oxide Inks with Desert Storm Cardstock/Oxide Inks

Hello Friends and Welcome to another inspiration card for the Always Fun Challenge blog!!! The theme for this week is "Graduation"and I went for a non traditional Graduation card with a Congrats sentiment.

CARD DETAILS: For the card today I used Nina Desert Storm Cardstock and a stencil I made with my Silhouette Cameo.  Since I have been obsessed with Oxide Inks I use them for a very colorful card in colors Broken China, Wilted Violet and Worn Lipstick for the sentiment I did an inlay technique I learned with the always Fabulous Laura Bassen... I stack 5 congrats dies to create the dimension and added clear sequins.
