Brutus Monroe

Fall Greetings Stamp Set

Glitter Glaze - Garnet

I don't know about you, but I'm still being inspired by the fall

colors - although they are fast fading.  For my card today I

decided to think outside the box!, by using a stamp in a completely

different way than it was intended!  I started out by making my own

glitter paper using Glitter Glaze in Garnet.  I took a piece of plum

card stock and using a palette knife applied the Glitter Glaze to

a piece that would be long enough to go across my card front.

While this was drying I worked on the other elements of my card.  I

stamped the main image from the Fall Greetings Stamp Set onto some 

bright yellow that matches the plaid piece I was using.  I used Golden

Gourd Embossing Powder.

I decided to use Copics to color the leaves.  There was no

shading at all...just straight color.  Copic colors used:

Y08, Y38, YR04, YR07, R17, R37, R59 RV69

I tried to space out the colors evenly.

At this point my Glitter Glaze piece was dry.  I cut two 1/4" pieces.

My card base is the bright yellow card stock cut into an A2 size card.

My plaid piece, from the Playful Plaid Paper Collection, measures

3" which I adhered to the center of the card.  I then adhered the

2 Glitter Glazed pieces on either side of the plaid.

I cut another strip of the Glitter Glazed piece that measures

5" x 3/4".  I decided the edges needed a bit of definition

so I used gold peel-offs on both sides of the narrow glitter

pieces and on the center of the 5" piece which I then adhered

to the center of the card.

I then took my heat embossed colored panel and cut four

1 1/4" squares from them.  I popped those up on foam tape and

adhered them on top of the strip of glittered paper.

For my sentiment I took a sentiment stamp from the Tree of Thanks

Stamp Set and heat embossed it the Golden Gourd Embossing Powder 

onto some pearlized vellum that I tinted on the back with one of the orange Copic markers.

I fussy cut this out and then adhered it on top 

of the 3 squares.  I added some violet gems and that finished my card!

I hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial.  The products found at
