Antique Trellis with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  I hope everyone is safe and doing well!  January is

over - YAY!  Closer to spring and warmer weather!  Today I'm sharing

a project made with some fun new products from

Brutus Monroe

Antique Trellis Stencil

Candy Coat

This mini slimline is deceptively simple but so full of sparkle and

shine!  Let me show you how I made my card!

First - I was able to use the new Stick & Stamp Mat!  This is an

absolute game changer!  It measures 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" and has a

tacky surface that can be used over and over.  And, because of the

convenient size - it fits into an Original MISTI!  Clean up is a

dream with Squeaky Clean Mat Mist.  I placed my stencil on

top of my card stock that was placed onto the Stick & Stamp Mat.

Because of the generous proportions of the mat, it allows all of the

edges of the stencil to stick to it.  So convenient.  Using a palette knife

I applied the Teal Candy Coat on top of the stencil.  The stencil comes

right off and by bending the mat, my card stock piece also came off.

Like many other Brutus Monroe mediums, Candy Coat when applied is

quite opaque.  The magic happens when it dries!  The base has fine

sparkle in it and there are pieces of iridescent flakes.  When it dries this

has so much sparkle and shimmer.  While that was off to the side drying,

I heat embossed my sentiment using the Simple Strips - Crafty using

Alabaster Embossing Powder and the coordinating die.

Next I made my mini slimline card base out of white card stock and

covered it with turquoise Glitterstock.  I added to that a black panel.

I cut down my dry stenciled panel.

After adhering the stenciled piece I popped up the sentiment on foam tape

and adhered to the middle of the card.  I tied a triple bow of turquoise silk ribbon

and adhered it to theft of the sentiment.  I took a Q-tip and went around the

edges of the ribbon with Alabaster Glitter Glaze.  And as a final bit of

shimmer I added a few pieces of iridescent confetti.  And that finished

my card!

I love working with extra sparkle this time of year because it's so

drab.  This new Candy Coat is over the top with sparkle!  Expect to

see more colors of this as 2022 progresses!!!  💫. You can find

the products I used at

Brutus Monroe

The new Stick & Stamp Mat is at a great price point!  The stencil is

available through a subscription program as well as being able to 

just purchase it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
