Caring Heart Cards: May Stencil of the Month with Brutus Monroe

Tuesday, May 5, 2020

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing how I created this super glitzy card

with the Stencil of the Month and other products from Brutus Monroe! This

was so much fun to make!

So to begin I cut small pieces of 140b cold press watercolor paper. I used

watercolor paper because I was going to be working with more than one

wet product. I was working within part of the ferris wheel portion of the

stencil...just to the outer most circle.

To stencil I used Brutus Monroe

I knew I was going to be cutting these down so the edges really didn't matter. After

these were dry, I cut them down into circles. Then I started painting them with

You can see that one has more color on it than the others. I painted that one

fully and put it on the inside of my card.

To assemble my card I used a white A2 size card base. To that I adhered a

Next I took my patterned paper which comes from the Watercolor Galaxy by

Brutus Monroe. I cut that to 4" x 5 1/4". I heat embossed this panel with

a sentiment from the "Spring Wreath" stamp set by Brutus Monroe. I

I adhered this to my card panel over the glittered paper. I position my

medallions that I had created in a diagonal line and adhered them using

foam tape. I added a 1/4" gold sequin to the middle of each. Then I

used gold glitter peel-offs from Love From Lizard connected the medallions,

visually, to the sides of the card. This really made for a more cohesive look.

And that finished my project! The sparkle and shine on this card

are nearly blinding!!!!!

I really enjoyed thinking outside the box for this project! Stencils are so

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I appreciate your interest and support!
