All You Need is Love with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing a mini slimline tri-fold card using

the add-on to the Inspiration Box from:

Brutus Monroe

Sweet Hearts Inspiration Box

This is a great 6" x 8" stamp set with loads of images!  Let

me show you how I made my card!

I needed to make the base of my card first.  I cut a 6" x 9" piece of white

card stock and scored it at 3" and 6".

I folded the 6" score line from left to right and the 3" score line from

right to left.  This creates the tri-fold.  Next I laid my panel flat and

drew a diagonal pencil line from the top of the 6" score line to the

last 3" panel about 1 1/2" above the end and trimmed off along

the line with my paper trimmer.

Next I pieced my paper and adhered it to the card.  I used the Slimline

Rainbow Collection paper for this.  I liked the graphic feel of it with the

stamped images.  Plus I could use several colors and they would all be the

same print.  I cut pieces to resemble the sky and grass.  For a bit of

added color I used 2 shades of green.

I stamped out my images onto Neenah 80lb Classic Crest white 

card stock.  This is a great way to use up scraps!

I didn't do a lot of shading, mainly sticking to 2-color blends.  In

some areas I chose not to shade at all and just used one color.

I also tried to keep my color palette simple by using 3 main colors.

Copic markers used:

Blender & 100

YG00, YG01, YG03, YG23

B0000, BG13, BG15

R000, R02, R24

Wi, W2, W7

YR00, YR02

E50, E52, E53, E31, E33

After coloring, I fussy-cut my images.

I also die cut my sentiment.  I adhered all of my images flat

and backed the ice cream shop image where it stuck up, so that when

you open the card, it was covered with the blue paper.  I added 2

Doodlebug Shape Sprinkles Tiny Hearts around the sentiment

and my card was done!

This card was so fun to create!  You could also do this with a regular

size slimline card as they are the same width.  There's lots of

possibilities there!!!!!  This month's Inspiration Box is so full

of goodies and fun creativity!!!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope I have given you

some creative ideas!!!!
