Die of the Month with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing the new Die of the Month with

Brutus Monroe

This month's die is a beautiful snowflake design!  Let me show you how

I made my gatefold card!

I first die cut my panel using white glitter card stock.  The die is so intricate

and when cut from glitter card stock looks fabulous!

Next I cut it down the middle lengthwise.

I then took a piece of pink pearlized card stock and cut it in half so I had

a piece that measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".  I scored both ends at 2 1/8" and

folded them to the front to create the gatefold.

I adhered one half of the die cut piece onto each flap making sure 

they met in the middle properly.

I then switched my attention to my middle piece.  I die cut one of the snowflakes

from the Snow Scenes Stamp/Die set.  I used Glamour Gloss in Prom Night!  So

pretty!  

Next I used one of the snowflake stamps that had the center image that I

wanted to use.

I knew I was going to color this monochromatically in pink, so I needed

the image to make sense in pink.  I thought this sunset one was perfect!

I kept this coloring quite simple using Copic markers.

Just a few 2-color blends.

Copic markers used:

RV000, RV00, RV63, RV55, RV66

Using the coordinating die, I die cut the colored portion from the middle of

this snowflake.  Using the Circle Foundation Dies I die cut a bigger circle from

the pearl pink card stock.

I then adhered all 3 of these pieces flat over top of each other using a

liquid glue.  To attached this piece to my card I placed liquid glue on

half of the back only and centering it, adhered it to my card.  Then I added

a generous amount of shimmer pen all over it.

That finished my card!  I really could have gone overboard and added all

sort of shiny stuff, but I really wanted the background die to stand out

on this card!

I hope you enjoyed this project.  If you haven't been lately, please visit
