Picked Patch with Brutus Monroe

Picked Patched Stamp Set

Velveteen Glaze

I did a little something different with the Velveteen Glazes this time! 

Let me show you how I made my card!

I started by stamping my image with Raven Detail ink onto some

orange card stock.  I stamped the full 6" x 6" knowing that

I would trim it down later.

I cut it down at this point so there was a 1/4" margin all the way

around.  It was easier to work with.  I took a 1/4" flat brush and my

Pink Flamingo Velveteen Glaze and I added contour swashes.

When Velveteen Glaze is applied this way - the color is quite transparent.

So even though the Velveteen Glaze is bright pink...it shows up as a lovely

darker orange on my orange card stock.  I tried to avoid the black outline

but it really didn't matter.

Here I've mixed Lima Bean with a bit of the Pink Flamingo.  This tones

down the green a bit.  I applied this to the stems with a round paintbrush.

I like the color this produced.  The black outlines were unavoidable on

these stems, but once everything was dry you couldn't tell.  Once this panel

was completely dry I cut it down to 4" x 5 1/4".  I covered a white top-folding

A2 size card base with the dark woodgrain paper from the Winter Cabin

Paper Collection.  

I adhered my pumpkin panel onto the covered card base.  Next, using the

"thank you" dies from the Slimline Sentiment Die Set, I cut the shadow layer

from the dark wood grain and the actual letters from the orange card stock.

These came together so nicely and were a snap to put together.  I

adhered them together with liquid glue.

I really liked the size of these die cuts on my card.  I adhered my pumpkin

layer onto the card base, followed by the sentiment.  I decided to add a bit

of glitter glaze.

Using Marmalade Glitter Glaze, I applied it with a toothpick just where

some highlights would go.  I didn't put it everywhere, but picked out

places that were around the sentiment.  Next I added 3 copper sequins

and my project was done!

I hope you enjoyed today's project!  It's never too early to get

a jump on Fall/Autumn cards!
