Strawberry Seeds with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Hope you are pushing through the intense heat we all seem to be

gripped in.  If you live in a cooler place...so glad for you!  Today I'm bringing you

a sweet summer card with products from

Brutus Monroe

Strawberry Seeds Stencil

Chroma Glaze

It was definitely fun doing something a bit different with the stencil!  Let me show you how

I made my card!  I first cut a 5 3/4" square of Buttercream card stock.  Using my Stick & 

Stamp Mat and Yellow Chroma Glaze I stenciled on my first layer of Strawberry Seeds.

Once that was very dry, I stenciled on another layer using Pink Chroma Glaze shifting the

stencil down and to the right.

Once that was dry I stenciled it for the 3rd time using Green Chroma Glaze shifting the

stencil so it was vertically between the pink and yellow.

Next it was time to make my elements.  I wanted to use a butterfly from the 

Magical Monarch Stamp Set.  I chose the bigger one.  I smeared on Green Chroma Glaze

 onto a scrap of Buttercream card stock and left it to dry.  From that I cut out the 

butterfly.  Using the shadow die I cut a piece of iridescent vellum.  I would totally

 change my mind on the butterfly but for now that's what it was.  I decided to use a

piece of pink card stock to go between my stenciled piece and the Buttercream

card stock base.  On another scrap of Buttercream I stamp the tulip design from

the Magical Monarch Stamp Set with some medium yellow ink.  I stamped the

image twice and colored them with Copic Markers.  I used: Y02, Y08, Y15,

YG11, YG23, YG63, RV13, RV06. I also heat embossed my sentiment with pink sparkly

 embossing powder and die cut them. 

I now had all of the parts for my card.

You'll see here the appearance of a pink butterfly instead of the green one.  I

could not make the green butterfly work - at all!  So again I smeared

Chroma Glaze onto a scrap of Buttercream - this time Pink - and let it dry.  Then I

hot foiled some of the Magical Shattered Glass Foil over it.  Then I die

cut it with the smaller butterfly die from the Magical Monarch Die Set.  I adhered 

my 2 sets of tulips that I had colored.  I cut a leaf off of one and entwined them 

a bit.  I adhered my layers together and I popped up all my elements on foam tape. 

 I only placed foam tape in the middle of the butterfly.  I used some peachy/pink

confetti as my only embellishment.  And that finished my card!

This was so fun to create using the stencil to create a bright background!  You
