Floral Frames with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing a mini slimline card that I

created using products from:

Brutus Monroe

Floral Frames Stamp Set

Raven Ultra Fine Embossing Powder

This card came together so quickly!  I chose a black, gold and

white theme.  But you could easily do another color way.  Let me

show you how I made my card!

I started by choosing many - but not all - of the smaller stamps in

this set.  This stamp set contains 28 pieces so lots of options!

I took a scrap of white card stock, put it in my MISTI and

arranged my stamps on half of the card stock.  I flipped the card

stock around and stamped again.  I used clear embossing ink and

heat embossed with Raven Ultra Fine Embossing Powder.

This gave me 2 of each image.  I was planning on using gold glitter card

stock on my background and I wanted whatever I colored in these embossed

pieces with to match.  I finally chose glitter watercolor paint that I

purchased on Etsy.  This paint contains fine glitter and one that contains a

chunkier glitter...perfect for my needs!

I didn't use a lot of water as this was card stock not watercolor paper.

The embossing resists the paint.  I painted a coat of the fine shimmer gold

and then went over it with the chunky glitter gold paint.  I let these air dry.

I prepared a white mini slimline card base by adhering a layer of

gold glitter card stock.  Then added a layer of black over it.

I die cut a white panel to put on top of the black and act as a base for

my elements.  When my paint was dry I fussy cut my images.  I

need to heat emboss my sentiment but wanted to wait to compose

my arrangement.  I put the white panel into my MISTI and then arranged

my flowers and leaves where I wanted them without gluing them down.  I

was able to place my sentiment stamp in the perfect position.  I heat

embossed it with the same Raven Ultra Fine Embossing Powder.

I adhered my flowers and leaves down popping up a few with foam tape.

Then I added some black gems and my card was done!

I hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial and I've inspired you to

create something beautiful!
