Flower Doodle with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  It's almost a new year so I am ending my card making

year with something colorful!  I'll be using products from

Brutus Monroe

Flower Doodle Stamp Set

Chroma Mists

Even though this stamp set is a 6" x 6",  I used it on my mini slimline!

Let me show you how I made my card!

I first stamped out my image and my sentiment and heat embossed them

 using Raven Sparkle Embossing Powder.  I used Whitewash card stock.

I trimmed out my panel right up to the lines so overall it

measures 2 1/2" x 5 3/8".

I used the Chroma Mists to paint in my flowers.  I used 9 colors and had

fun mixing colors that I needed but didn't have.  For all of the leaves I

used Noble Fir, Bumblebee Yellow and Ornament gold to give a bit of

shimmer.

For the blue I used Blue Violet and a bit of white.

For the peachy orange I used Candy Apple Red, Yellow Orange 

and White.  To each of these mixes I also added a bit of Pearl for shimmer.

Later I would add some of my yellow mix over top of the center of

the flower in the upper right corner.  Next was my pink - Candy Apple

Red, White and Pearl.

To the pink mix I added some of the Blue Violet to make a

really pretty lavender.

I used a bit of Tinsel Blue and White for a more traditional blue.

And then I finished up my painting with Bumblebee Yellow, White

and Ornament Gold.

Next I prepared my base.  I cut a 6" x 6" square of Whitewash

card stock.  To that I added a panel of Cabbage card stock Just

1/8" smaller.  Then I backed my painted panel which measures

2 1/2" x 5 3/8" with black card stock with just a bit showing.

For my sentiment I had wanted to make a banner and have it

coming from the right side.  It did not look good.  So I fussy

cut the banner and it still didn't look good.  Finally I cut the 

words apart and that worked!  For some added sparkle I

used some Silver Prism Sequins.  And that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  I love the colors and the

sparkle!  You can find the products I used for my card at

days head!
