Vintage Tile Take 2 with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing another card made with

Brutus Monroe

Vintage Tile Mixed Media Stencil

Chroma Glaze

I wanted to see what the Chroma Glaze would do over an inked background.  I

am in love with the way it turned out!  Let me show you how I made my card!

I first ink blended my A2 size card base panel on heavy white card stock.  I used Simon

Hurley Inks in Over the Moon and Tropical Tango using my Stick & Stamp Mat.

I was color matching this to a piece of patterned paper from the Bountiful

Blooms Paper Collection as I was going to fussy cut one of the butterflies.

Before this ink was dry I placed my Vintage Tile Mixed Media Stencil over

top of the panel and using Opal Chroma Glaze ( a new fav!!!) I

applied a very thin coat.

This did not blend with the ink as much as I thought it would, but that's ok.  I

didn't do a lot of smoothing out...I applied it, scraped it even with a palette

knife, took off the stencil, took my panel from my Stick & Stamp Mat and let

everything dry.  I chose the butterfly I wanted and fussy it out along with one

of the flowers and a few of the yellow leaves.

Next I took a piece of white pearlized vellum and heat embossed my sentiment

on it with Night Shift Embossing Powder in Teal...so pretty!  Once it was cooled

I die cut it with a small label die.

I made a standard white A2 size top folding card base from white card stock.  I

cut a piece of navy yardstick to 4" x 5 1/2" and adhered it, centered, on the

card base.

I cut my inked/stenciled panel flat to the card centering it.  It measures

3 7/8" x 5 1/2".  I adhered my butterfly by applying liquid glue just to the

center of it.  I adhered my sentiment in the upper left and used a bit of liquid glue

to adhere it.  Because this is pearlized you can't really see though it like

most vellum.  I adhered the red flower and 3 little leaves I had fussy cut from the paper

 inside my card.  For a finishing touch I adhered 3 tiny iridescent butterflies

and my project was done!

This was fun to create and I love experimenting with different mediums.  I

really love this Opal Chroma Glaze over the ink.  It's so pretty!  You can find

Vintage Tile with Brutus Monroe

Hello everyone!  Today I get to share a new stencil technique with

you featuring products from 

Brutus Monroe

Vintage Tile

Glitter glaze

This was tons of fun to put together.  It was in experiment for me - I stenciled

my panel 3 times!  Let me show you how I made my card!

I first started by placing a panel of white card stock on my Stick & Stamp Mat.

I used Simon Hurley's breakup blue ink and the Delicate Floral Stencil.

This is such a pretty stencil on it's own.  Next I overlaid the Vintage Tile

Stencil and used Glitter Glaze in Periwinkle.

I was very careful about placement of this stencil.

This came out so pretty!  I love the Delicate Floral design in the background.

Once this Periwinkle Glitter Glaze was dry, I rotated my stencil and used

Alabaster Glitter Glaze to stencil again.

I had to peel off my panel each time I stenciled so I could clean off my Stick

& Stamp Mat.  Then I just set my panel aside to dry.  When t was dry I

cut it to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered it to a Blue Ribbon Card Stock panel that

was cut to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".  I next moved onto my sentiment.  I used the

"Thanks" die set from Christopher's Sentiments dies.  I die cut the actual letter from 

the Blue Ribbon Card Stock and the shadow layer from some very

white vellum and adhered the 2 together.

I felt I needed a sub-focal so using Icicle Embossing Powder, I used one of

the butterflies from the Full Bloom Stamp Set and die cut it with the

coordinating dies.  I stamped the butterfly, heat embossed it and then ink

blended over it with the breakup blue ink.

I die cut the butterfly and then added Periwinkle Glitter Glaze for

some sparkle.

I adhered my prepared panel onto an A2 size white card base.  I adhered

my sentiment piece flat to the card.

I adhered my butterfly above the sentiment on the right.  As a last

finishing touch I added some iridescent confetti and

my project was finished!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  It was fun to see what would happen

when stenciling the same panel 3 times!  I love the effect!  You can purchase the
