hello

Hi friends, happy Tuesday! I hope your week is off to a nice start. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the amazing Emma A2 Stencil and Super Sentimental Stamp Set. Isn’t that stencil delightful?! I also used several other Brutus Monroe products to make this card come to life, and I really love how it turned out. It’s been a while since I used any distress oxide inks and honestly, I had forgotten how awesome they blend! I totally need to get these out more often.

I grabbed a piece of Perfect Blend 4.25″ x 5.5″ cardstock (which is excellent for ink blending and alcohol marker coloring) and stuck it down on my Stamp & Stick Mat which I attached to my 12″ Make Art Stay-tion with magnets. I used the Emma stencil with peeled paint, picked raspberry and seedless preserves distress oxide inks to create the background. I cut a layering panel from Raven cardstock and cut the corners of both panels with the Spellbinders 3 in 1 Notched Corners Punch.

I cut an A2 size side-folding card base from Not Your Mamas cardstock and adhered the panels to the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set on Raven cardstock in Alabaster White ink, trimmed it into a flag, and adhered to the card front. The finishing touch was adding a few Hematite Flat Back Crystals.

I trimmed another panel of Perfect Blend and Raven cardstock for the inside and notched the corners with the Spellbinders punch. I stamped another sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set in Raven ink and colored the tiny hearts with a Copic Ciao V15 alcohol marker.
