Happy Birthday

Hi friends, Happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a great week. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe inspiration project with you today as a new DT member! I’ve been a Brutus Monroe fan for a few years and you can only imagine how ecstatic I was to receive that email telling me I had been selected for the 2025 Inspiration Team! I used two of my all-time favorites, the Botanical Background Stamp and  Super Sentimental Stamp Set, to create this pretty birthday card. I included a gorgeous Lace Layers die cut under the focal panel to really show it off. I kept with a simple red/coral color palette and really love how this turned out!

I stamped the Botanical Background focal image in Raven ink on a Perfect Blend 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel and colored it with Copic Ciao markers. I trimmed it and layered it on a panel of CutCardStock Wild Salmon cardstock. I adhered a Lace Layers die cut (which I cut from Raven cardstock) beneath the panel and adhered it to the card base. I stamped a simple birthday greeting from the Super Sentimental Stamp Set, trimmed it, and adhered it to the bottom portion of the card front, slightly to the right of center. The finishing touch was adding several Hematite Flat Back Crystals.

I cut the inside panels from Perfect Blend cardstock and the Wild Salmon cardstock. I stamped another sentiment from the Super Sentimental Stamp Set and layered the panel on a slightly smaller die cut Lace Layer.
