Love You More with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Can you believe it's a new year already?  I don't 

know about you but I'm ready for new and better year!  So, to kick

off January 2022 my project will be using products from

Brutus Monroe

Love You More Stamp Set

Chroma Mists

This Love You More Stamp Set is so cute!  I had to make a shaker

with it!  Let me show you how I made my card!

I first stamped my images with Raven Detail ink onto Whitewash card

stock.  I cut a light pink top panel to 4" x 5 1/4" and die cut a heart

shaker window.  This darker pink card stock in the photo will be my

card base.

I started my coloring with Chroma Mists.  I used Blue Violet, Bumblebee

Yellow, Candy Apple Red and White.I mixed the Red and White for my

pink areas and Yellow and White for their hair.  

For the skin tones I used Copics E51 and for the stools I used

C0, C3, C7 and 100.  I added a little R20 for their cheeks.

With a glitter gel pen I added stripes to the boy's shirt and polka dots

to the girl's dress.  I also added a bit of white gel pen around the

pupils of their eyes.  Once these were dry I fussy cut them. I also took

a smaller piece of the dark pink card stock to go behind the shaker

bits and sprayed it with an iridescent spray and then adhered it

into place.

 Now it was time for the base of the card.  Placing the evacuated heart back into

it's space to protect the piece of acetate I had adhered there, I splattered Chroma 

Mists that I had mixed - the Red and White - to make a matching pink.

Once that was dry I took out the evacuated piece and flipped over the

main panel to add foam tape.  I used 2 layers of the Brutus Monroe Foam

Tape.  I was going to use some rather chunky shaker bits and I wanted

them to shake freely.  I put a pile of shaker bits onto the base and then

gently placed my top over it.

For a sentiment I used 3 of the candy heart stamps in the set.  For

ink I used Simon Hurley's Prom Queen.  I stamped them on the light

pink card stock and then fussy cut them.

To finish I adhered my couple onto the card using liquid glue and

leaving enough room in-between so one of the candy hearts would

fit into the space, then I adhered the candy hearts vertically.  Finally I

adhered 3 puffy hearts (same ones used as shaker bits) around the

bottom of the card.

I hope you enjoyed the project today.  I had so much fun designing

and making this card!  You can find the products I used at
