Autumn Harvest with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm bringing more fall inspiration

with products from 

Brutus Monroe

No Place Like Home Stamp Set

No Place Like Fall Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies

Chroma Mists

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

paper.  I used Golden Gourd Embossing Powder.  

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
