Blanket of Blooms with Brutus Monroe

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing a project with new products from

Brutus Monroe

Blanket of Blooms Stencil

Glitter Glaze

I also used the new Stick & Stamp Mat for my stenciling.  The Glitter

Glaze I'm using today is Fallen Snow.  This is definitely my favorite

Glitter Glaze because it's transparent.  That means when it dries there is

a lovely sparkly iridescent shimmer that is left that lays over any color

that's underneath it.

Let me show you how I made my card!  I started with a die cut panel

 of Buttercream Card Stock using a smaller rectangle die.

  

  I laid that on my Stick & Stamp Mat and then positioned the stencil 

over it making sure the sides were sticking down securely.

Using pink, yellow and green inks from Simon Hurley's line and a small blending brush,

I applied my ink to the stencil.  It didn't slip at all and stayed securely in place while I

was stenciling.  

With the stencil still in place I applied my Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze.

Right after the application of the Glitter Glaze I removed my stencil and washed

it.  I removed my panel from the Stick & Stamp mat by bending the mat to 

release the panel.  I set that aside to dry.  I took a scrap of pink card stock that

was a very good match to the pink on the panel.  Using a palette knife I 

applied Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze to this piece.

I let this dry and then die cut my sentiment from it using the

Christopher's Sentiments Die Set.  I die cut the shadow piece using

a piece of gold shimmer vellum.

I adhered the 2 together to form my sentiment.  I made an A2 size card

base from the Buttercream card stock and then but a green card stock

panel to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".  I tied a pink silk ribbon around the left side

of the stenciled panel.

I adhered the green panel to the card base and then the stenciled panel

popped up on foam tape.  I adhered my sentiment down.  I took the

Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze and with a Q-tip went over the sentiment again

and I went along the edges of the bow.  I also took a toothpick and

made tiny dots between the flowers on the panel.  Once all that was

dry my card was finished!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  I love using new products and finding

new ways to use the products I have!  You can find what I have used at
