Art Deco Butterfly Kisses w/Brutus Monroe

Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is well and spring is coming to where you

live!  Today I'm sharing a Brutus Monroe Design Team Project!

Stamp of the Month:

Butterfly Kisses

I chose to use the Pastel Deco Paper Pad

This paper is fast becoming one of my favorites.  I've already bought 2!

To start my project I heat embossed with gold all of the stamps including an extra

big butterfly onto some plain black card stock.

Next I colored them with colored pencils.  I chose colors that coordinated with

the paper.  After coloring I fussy cut them.

The polychromos colors I used are:

Light Flesh: 9201 - 132

Dark Flesh:  9201 - 130

Medium Flesh:  9201 - 131

Light Cobalt Turquoise:  9201 - 154

Cobalt Turquoise:  9201 - 153

Helio Turquoise:  9201 - 155

Next I prepared my base.

I also cut an Art Deco element from gold card stock using a Love From Lizi die.

I first covered the entire front of my A2 size top folding card base with a black pearl paper.  

Next I took my piece of fan patterned paper measuring 3 7/8" x 5 1/2" and adhered

it to the center of my card.  And finally I took the dark gray patterned paper

measuring 1 3/4" x 5 1/2" and adhered that in the center.  I added some definition with

the addition of pinstripe gold peel-offs from Love From Lizi.

I added my die cut piece just below the half way mark on the center panel.  I added

the butterflies by adhering them in the middle with glue andfoam tape under the wings to give

dimension.  Just above the die cut piece I foam tape my sentiment which I had cut

into a banner shape and backed with the gold paper.  I added some flat back gold beads

and my card was finished!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  These butterfly stamps could be used for so

many different occasions!
