Die of the Month with Brutus Monroe

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing this really pretty die from

Brutus Monroe

Die of the Month Subscription

This is so pretty and intricate and yet it cuts like a dream!!!!!

Let me show you how I made my card.

I decided on my papers first.  I used Sapphire Glitter card stock to

die cut the image.  This large image was not the only die in this

set!  There were other flowers and leaves and berry sprig!

My patterned paper was from the Pastel Deco Paper Collection.  It's one

of my favorites.  And that Sapphire Glitter card stock matched it sooooo well!

I cut an A2 size card base from Neenah Desert Storm card stock.  I

trimmed my piece of patterned paper to 4" x 5 1/4".  I placed my die in

the center of the patterned paper and cut the heart.  I cut a piece from

the dark brown card stock about an 1/8" smaller than the patterned piece

and adhered it to my card base.

I placed the die cut patterned piece onto the base.  I laid my die cut heart

into the opening and then took away the patterned piece whilst holding onto

the heart so it wouldn't move.  Then, without totally lifting it up, I adhered

the die cut heart onto the base with liquid adhesive.

I then took my patterned piece and put foam tape on the back of it.

Then I gently adhered it on to the top of my card.  Next I used dark brown glitter

glue and put drops of it into the centers of the flower die cut.

I used a sentiment from the Botanical Banners Stamp Set.  I stamped the

Happy Anniversary onto a scrap of the Neenah Desert Storm.

Then I backed it with a scrap of the Sapphire Glitter card stock 

and adhered it to the center of the heart on foam tape.

And that finished my card!

I hope you are inspired by today's tutorial!  This is a beautiful die that can

be used all year long!  This die is a subscription product!  Find it and many other
