Heart Petals with Brutus Monroe

 


Hello from the cold Northeast everyone!  Today I am sharing this ultra-shiny
project with products from


I went over the top with the sparkle and shine on this card!  We have had gray
cold days here and I needed a good dose of something sparkly!  Let me
show you how I made my card.

I first took 2 pieces of Glitterstock in Silver.  I had already chosen
my background paper from the Watercolor Galaxy Paper Collection.  Using a
palette knife, I spread Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze  and
Mermaid Chunky Glitter Glaze on the Silver Glitterstock.


You can see I did not spread it on thickly as I wanted some of the Glitterstock
to be seen.  And, I didn't get it on evenly either and that was ok.  I did do this
a day ahead of time.  I needed these panels to be very dry.  


Using the outline die, I cut the image from the Mermaid Chunky Glitter Glaze.
I next cut the inside using both of the dies from plain white card stock.  I needed
a way to be able to place my silver pieces that form the inside.


You can see my die cut in the upper right.  I was poking out a few pieces at a
time and gluing them in using the white stencil I had made.  I was using liquid
glue so I was also lifting up the stencil away from the pieces I had just glued
so that nothing stuck that I didn't want there.


I was pleased with how this turned out!  I covered the front of a standard
A2 size top folding white card base with a sheet of paper from the
Watercolor Galaxy Paper Collection.  I die cut the letters XO from the
Heart Petals Die Set.  I didn't cut out the shadow...just the letters from
some Turquoise Glitterstock.


I placed the heart at an angle and adhered it flat to the card and I
adhered the 2 XO's above it at an angle...also flat to the card.  And
that finished my super sparkly project!


This was so much fun to make with the shiny goodness going on!  You can

Thank you so much for letting me inspire you!
