Falliday Fun with Brutus Monroe

Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is well and ready to swing into fall!  to

help you get into the mood, I've created a fall card using:

Brutus Monroe

Falliday Silhouettes

Farmhouse Friends

Raven Detail Ink

Simon Hurley Inks:  Grrr!, Over the Moon,

Bee Sting, Slippery When Wet, Sike Guppy, Later Gator

This project was lots of fun - let me show you how I made my it!

I started with my leaves.  I thought these might take a while to dry so I wanted

to stamp them first.

I set up my 4 leaves on my stamp positioned and using all of the listed colors of

Simon Hurley inks, I stamped the leaves onto white card stock.  I was not going for full 

coverage.  I did some ink kissing on the edges and also some 2 tone stamping - all with a

light touch.  Once they were dry and before I fussy cut them out, I stamped the veins

with the GRRR! ink.  I also stamped my sentiment with a brown hybrid ink.

Next I stamped the truck image using Raven Detail Ink on white card stock.

I love this truck so much! I colored it with Copic markers.

Copic colors used:

BG01, BG15, BG49

C0, C3, C5, C7, 100

Once I was done with the coloring I fussy cut the truck out as well.

I went through my stash and found a piece of plaid paper that had all

the colors I was using!

I prepared an A2 size white card base and cut a panel of the plaid paper that

measures 4" x 5 1/4".  I adhered the plaid panel to the front of the card.  Next

I arranged my leaves along the bottom.  When I was happy with the position of

them, I adhered them down and trimmed off any overhanging bits.

I tucked my sentiment leaf in the bed of the truck and adhered it with liquid

glue, then adhered that piece in the center with foam tape.

I added some crystal glaze to the windows and windshield of the truck,

adhered some small aqua gems and then went over the leaves with a gold

shimmer pen.  And that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial!  I love this truck so much and fall is my favorite

season, so this was a winner for me!
