Painted Rainbow with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm continuing the rainbow theme with products from

Brutus Monroe

Painted Rainbow Stencil

Candy Coat

This was so much fun to make - especially working with all that sparkly goodness

found in the Candy Coat!  Let me show you how I made my card.  I started my card using

a piece of 110lb white card stock that was cut to around 4" x 8".  I wanted plenty

of room to work with.  Using my Stick & Stamp Mat and the Painted Rainbow 

Stencil, I used Candy Coat as my medium.  I used Pink, Yellow, Green Teal

and Purple.  To make the orange I mixed Yellow and Pink and to make the blue,

I mixed Teal and Purple.

I let this dry overnight.  I had applied the Candy Coat quick thickly for good

coverage and bright color so it took a while to dry.  When it was dry I cut the

panel to 2 3/4" x 5 3/4".  I made a 3" x 6" mini slimline card base and 

adhered a piece of hot pink holographic paper to it just an 1/8" smaller. Using 

some heat resistant acetate I stamped my rainbow images and shooting

star and sentiment with black pigment ink.  Then I used Rainbow Sparkle

Embossing Powder to heat emboss.  Super easy to cut out and you really don't

see the edges in the finished project! 

 I backed my stenciled piece with 3

layers of the 110lb card stock.  I did this to give it dimension but to also

ensure that the stenciled piece didn't warp the entire front of my card.  It

made the card super stable.

With the rainbows and star from the Radiant Rainbow Stamp Set I was able to trim

out my images and then actually flip them over before adhering.  This made for a

crisper image, but you  can still see the sparkle from the embossing powder.  I

adhered these elements flat to the surface and my rainbow card was done!

I hope you enjoyed today's fun rainbow tutorial.  Everyone should have some sort

of rainbow collection in their stash and this stencil is awesome!  Find it and the

Radiant Rainbow with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is having a great start to their summer!  Today

I get to bring you a fun project using products from

Brutus Monroe

Radiant Rainbow Stamp Set

Chroma Mists

This is such a pretty card and so easy to make!  Let me show you how I made it!

I started by taking a piece of heavy weight white card stock that was cut to

6" x 4".  I laid it on my Stick & Stamp Mat.  I used the Painted Rainbow Stencil 

and a 1/2" flat damp brush, I sprayed Chroma Mists onto my work surface, picked it 

up with my brush and painted each stripe on the rainbow.  One or two swipes of the 

brush was all I did, as I didn't want any of the Chroma Mists to seep under the stencil.

Once this was dry, I cut the panel so it was 2 3/4" wide.  With the left over

piece of stenciled card stock I used a zig zag die and I ended up placing this

inside my card.  I also cut the black bow but decided not to use it.  The colors

of Chroma Mists were: Lilac Purple, Pink, Yellow Orange, Leaf Green,

Turquoise and Blue Violet.  They make such a pretty rainbow!  I next

heat embossed my sentiment from the Radiant Rainbow Stamp Set

using black pigment ink to stamp and then heat embossed with Rainbow 

Sparkle Embossing Powder.

I decided to use the small hearts from the stamp set and hang them on each

of the rainbow stripes.  I, once again, used black pigment ink to stamp them.

I then drew a line connecting them to the top with a black pen.  I laid a

yellow sparkle peel-off across the top of the card.  

I used a shimmer pen on each one of the hearts, then filled them in with

Glossy Accents.  I put a clear iridescent tiny gem stone on the end of 

the strings and my rainbow card was finished!

I hope you enjoyed today's easy tutorial!  It doesn't have to be

complicated to get the message across to your recipient!  Find
