Autumn Harvest with Brutus Monroe

 


Hello everyone!  Today I'm bringing more fall inspiration
with products from 


This was loads of fun to create with!  Let me show you how I
made my 5" x 7" card.  I started by heat embossing the elements
from the No Place Like Fall Stamp Set onto 90lb watercolor


I wanted to watercolor these elements with Chroma Mists.  I sprayed
some of the mists onto my glass mat.  I did mix colors.


The colors I used were:  Bumblebee Yellow, Candy Apple Red, Leaf
Green, and a touch of Cobalt Blue.


These Chroma Mists pack a powerful burst of color and that's
what I needed with the gold embossing.


Once these were dry, I die cut them with the coordinating  No
Place Like Fall Cutting Dies...so convenient.  I did end up having to
remake 2 of these elements...furry friends in my studio who
knock over cups of coffee!  Next I heat embossed the main
house stamp onto the same 90lb watercolor paper with the same
Golden Gourd Embossing Powder.  And using the Chroma Mists,
I watercolored this stamped image.


I wanted my card to be bright and cheery!
I was pleased with how this turned out!  I used brown quite a bit and I
mixed this color from the red, green and yellow Chroma Mists.  The
turquoise was a mix of green and blue.  I made a 5" x 7" card base
from Lunch Bag card stock.  I adhered a piece of plaid (of course!)
paper to this that measures 4 3/4" x 6 3/4".


I made my sentiment banner from Lunch Bag card stock heat
embossed with the Golden Gourd Embossing Powder.  I die
cut it and then fish-tailed the ends.  I cut down my main panel
to 4" x 5 1/4" and backed it with a dull gold paper.  I
adhered all of my elements onto the main panel.  Everything
was popped up on foam tape except for the Welcome mat which
I adhered flat to the card. And that finished my card!


I enjoy making scene cards and this one was so much fun!  You can

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I really appreciate your
time and interest!
