Rockstar Pets with Brutus Monroe

Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is doing well and having a great summer!

Today I'm bringing you a fun project using products from:

Brutus Monroe

Products used:

Rockstar Pets Stamp Set

Basket Weave Stencil

Icicle Embossing Powder

Simon Hurley Ink - grrr!

This stamp set is such a blast to create with!  That cat is just too much!

So, I wanted to make a slimline card.  I started with the stencil.  I cut a panel

that was 3 1/4" x 8 1/4".  I used a low tack adhesive spray on the back of

the stencil.

I centered it on point on my panel and started with a tan ink.  Once I was happy

with that I darkened up the edges with Simon Hurley's grrr! ink.  They blended

like a dream.

For the corners, I cut a 4" square of leopard print paper and cut that into 4 diagonal

pieces and adhered them to the corners of the panel.  To give everything a bit more

definition I added dark brown peel-offs along the edges.  Then I adhered this to my

slimline card base that measures 3 1/2" x 8 1/2".

Next I stamped the cat onto some white card stock using a dark brown hybrid ink and 

heat embossed it with Icicle Embossing Powder.  I then colored him with Copics, avoiding

the the embossed lines.

Copic colors used:

Body:  E41, E43, E31, E33, E35, E37

Ears:  R00, E04

Nose:  E04

I fussy cut him out and left a very narrow white outline.  Next I stamped the sentiment

by using a stamp positioning tool and laying the cat image on the card to orient where

I wanted the sentiment.  I stamped it using the same dark brown hybrid ink.

I next adhered the cat flat onto the card using liquid glue.  I added black diamond

glitter glue to the dark spots in the leopard paper...I used a Q-tip to apply it.

Then I added crystal glaze to the cat's glasses.  That finished my card!

For my envelope I used a regular white business size envelope and stenciled

a 2 1/4" stripe down the left side and then stamped the cat image over that

cutting part of him off, using the same dark brown ink.

What a fun project to make!

I hope you've been inspired by my card and envelope today!

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I appreciate you!
