Fall Florals with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Fall is such a busy time of year, but it's also

very beautiful!  Today we'll be making a beautiful fall card

using products from:

Brutus Monroe

Falls Florals Stamp Set

Aqua Pigments

Although this is a fairly busy card, those sunflowers really

stand out!  Let me show you how I made my card.

I first took several A2 size pieces of Neenah Cream card

stock.  I stamped my images using a very dark brown

pigment ink.  I stamped these images a total of 4 times.

Once the ink was dry, I started painting with Aqua Pigments.  I found

it best to do a first layer of Aqua Pigments.  Then let them dry before going in

with more color.  This gives your images really bright colors.

I really tried to vary my leaf colors as there were so many.

For Aqua Pigments I used:  Red, Green, Brown, Blue Green,

Yellow Orange and Red Violet.  I mixed colors together to get some

shades and layered one color over another on some of the leaves.

Once these were completely dry I fussy cut them.  I prepared an

A2 size card base out of the same Neenah Cream card stock.  I

also cut a panel of it that was 4" x 5 1/4" and used an embossing

folder on it.  I made my sentiment using the same dark brown

pigment ink and I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

I die cut it with a banner die.

Now it was time to put everything together!  I adhered my flowers and

sentiment first.  The sentiment and one flower were adhered flat to the

surface of the card.  The other 2 flowers were popped up on foam tape.

Then I tucked in my leaves everywhere trying not to get 2 alike

right beside each other.  I trimmed where they were too long.  My only

embellishments were some tiny 2-tone pearls in Yellow/orange and a bit of

shimmer pen in the centers of the sunflowers.  And

that finished my fall card project!

This card was fun to make and looks so colorful!  What are your
