Brutus Monroe

Strawberry Social Paper Collection

Aqua Pigments

This Strawberry Social Collection is full of plump strawberries to create

with!  What fun!  Let me show you how I made my card.  I started by taking

a scrap of Lunch Bag card stock.  It was probably around 4" x 4 1/2".  I

marked off stripes using EZC Highlighter Tape.  Using Red Aqua Pigments

and a 1/2" flat brush I applied my stripes.  I let it dry (this doesn't take long)

and then I applied another coat.

I laid this off to the side to dry.  I made a white card tock frame using a

rectangle die that is A2 size.  I also cut a small scallop strip.  

I cut an A2 size piece of the red seeds paper from the Strawberry Social Paper

Collection and cut it diagonally.  And I made an A2 top folding card base from Lunch

 Bag Card Stock.  I stamped my images from the Strawberry Social Stamp Set.  I used

Aqua Pigments to paint them with.  I did very little shading on the elements.

I used a yellow Posca Pen to go over the dots and the center of the flowers.

I fussy cut them when they were dry.

I adhered the striped piece and the patterned paper piece to the card base.  Next I

took another scrape of the Lunch Bag card stock and heat embossed with Alabaster

Embossing Powder a sentiment from the stamp set.  I cut this in a banner shape

and backed it with white card stock leaving a narrow part showing.  I attached 

this to the top of the card.  I adhered the berries and one of the blossom pieces.

I cut the flower from another blossom that I had stamped and colored and foam

taped it on top of the one that I adhered to the card.  I curled up the edges a bit.

I next used Glossy Accents on the strawberries.  The gave them nice shine!  I

used 2 thin yellow peel-offs on the scalloped piece and I added a white twine

bow.  I added some yellow gems and my project was done!

I hope you enjoyed today's project!  It makes me want to eat

strawberries!  You can find the products I used at
