Just For You Card with Brutus Monroe

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am  here with a fun Easter themed card featuring the Inspiration Box stamp set called Sophisticated Spring. 



Supplies Used:
 Layering Cardstock: Pink 
Inks: Light Pink, Medium Pink, Turquoise, 
Light Green and Medium Green
Offray Ribbon: White

This card came together rather quickly. 

I started by inking panels (4.25"x5.5") of 
inks. I did about a half of the panels in each color.

Brutus Monroe: Raven Detail Ink and stamped the Lilies, a few leaves and one Egg. I fussy cut them out.

Next, I trimmed a panel from one of the papers of Brutus Monroe: Sophisticated Spring 6x6 Paper Collection - for my background. I trimmed another piece of Brutus Monroe: Sophisticated Spring 6x6 Paper Collection (about 2-1/4")
along with a piece of pink cardstock(about 3/4"). I also cut some scallops from the 
Brutus Monroe: Not Your Mama's Cardstock and I trimmed a small 1" piece for the sentiment. 

 Then, I adhered them to my card base creating layers. I also adhered the white ribbon to the center of the pink cardstock. Next, I adhered the lilies and leaves directly to the card front above the pink pattern paper I did use a bit of thin foam adhesive for a few areas to create dimension . I used foam adhesive for the egg and centered it between the lilies. Next, I stamped the sentiment onto the cardstock piece, trimmed it into a fishtail banner and adhered it to the right hand bottom of the pink pattern paper. Now, for finishing touches I used the Brutus Monroe: Acrylic Bubbles: Blush

You're My Cup Of Tea Mini Slimline Card with Brutus Monroe

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a mini slimline card featuring 
the Mixed Media Stencil Best China and the Tea Party stamp set.

Supplies Used:
Copic Markers

First, I die cut the card front panel 2-3/4" x 5-3/4". Then I masked the upper portion of the panel. Next, I placed the panel onto my Stick & Stamp Mat and place the Mixed Media Stencil Best China on top of the panel. I then spread some Peach Bellini Velveteen Glaze over the stencil. I removed the stencil and the panel for the Stick & Stamp Mat.  Next, I removed the mask, washed the stencil and set the panel to dry.

While, The panel was drying I stamped the teapot and teacup images from 
the Tea Party stamp set using Raven Detail Ink. I colored the images with some Copic markers. I also stamped the sentiment. Once, the panel was dry I adhered it to the mat and the card base. Next, I adhered the teapot and teacups using some foam adhesive and matted the sentiment and adhered it with foam adhesive to the top left corner. As a finishing touch I added a few pearls and gems.
