Fall Prairie Take #2 with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm bringing you another card made with

the Fall Prairie Stamp Set from

Brutus Monroe

Fall Prairie Stamp Set

Chroma Mists

I decided to make a mini slimline scene for this card.  I had a rough idea

for my layout.  I started with a piece of Bristol smooth card stock.  I

had a piece that was bigger than I needed.  So my piece was about 4" x 6 1/4".

Using a big brush, I gently wet the upper half of the piece being mindful

of the bottom line as this would become my horizon line. I used White

Chroma Mist with touches of Blue Chroma Mist and held my panel

on its side so gravity could move the color.  I let the colors blend on

the panel with a little blending help from my brush.

I didn't let this dry completely before doing the bottom half, but it was

fairly dry to the touch.  For the bottom I used the Green Chroma Mist

and the Yellow and a bit of orange that I mixed from the Candy Apple

Red and Bumblebee Yellow.

This Bristol Smooth does not seem to warp from water very

much.  There was some curling, but it dried quite flat.  Once,

it did dry, I cut this panel to 2 3/4" x 6".  I was mindful of

where I was cutting as I wanted more of the sky showing.

I then stamped and heat embossed my sentiment.  I used the

Gilded Embossing Powder.

Next I stamped and heat embossed all of my other elements onto

the panel.

To give my elements color, I painted them with the Chroma Mists.

Full strength, they have good coverage, although they are still transparent.

I made some mixes and used others straight out of the bottle.

While those were drying, I covered a mini slimline base with an

orange paper from my stash.  Once, the panel was dry I adhered that

as well.  I did a little bit of white gel pen work on the cloud and made

some very tiny leaves here and there with a gold pen.  And 

that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed this project today!  I love scene building stamp

sets.  There are always so many possibilities!  Look for the products
