Hello everyone! I hope everyone's enjoying these early days of Autumn with all
of the beautiful colors! Today I'm sharing a card that I made with
Other Brutus Monroe Products used:
I wanted to try something a little different with this card. Using the Die of the Month
I cut my main image out of some Tonic Specialty paper. Next I took a piece of toner
card stock that I made myself (using a laser printer and using a word document I
made the background completely black) and, using the Deco Foil in Peach Princess
I sent an A2 size panel though my laminator.
Next I die cut the foiled piece. I wanted to paper piece the roses inside the darker die cut. I cut the actual inside/back piece of the card with a pale peach card stock. This was cut to a standard A2 size. I also cut a piece of acetate. This measures 4 1/4" x 5 3/4" and scored at the 1/2" mark.
I adhered my dark brown die cut to the lower left corner of the acetate. Then I carefully
paper pieced the foil die cut into the rose shapes.
This took patience. It was like putting a puzzle together. Some of the pieces were very tiny
but it die cut so beautifully and I really didn't have any problems getting the correct pieces
where they needed to go. At this point, I was ready to adhere my back peach panel. I felt
it was quite plain and I wanted to have just a bit of visual texture. I finally decided to stamp
it with a script stamp from Gina K Designs. I used a very light neutral ink.
I adhered this panel inside the fold at the top of the acetate, so the acetate with the die cuts
actually is the front of the card. I next stamped my sentiment onto a scrap of the foiled
card stock using a black pigment ink and then heat embossed it with clear
embossing powder.
I used the coordinating die that goes with this set to cut out my sentiment. I adhered it
to the top of the my card and that finished my project.
I was really pleased with how this project turned out. I had never made a card with an
acetate top layer and I loved the paper piecing!
You can find the products I used at the Brutus Monroe shop along with lots of other
awesome products including subscription products!
