Happy Birthday – Brutus Monroe

Hi everyone! I am so EXCITED to share with you my first card as a design team member with Brutus Monroe! I am so excited to be a part of their team and to learn more! For my first design team post I am sharing with you the Stamp of the Month!

For my first card I started by stamping this little cute pig 3 times on Bristol smooth card stock using Brutus Monroe – Raven Detail Ink and then heat set it using a clear embossing powder. I colored the pigs in using my zig water brush markers and added some colored pencils as well. I then used my scan and cut to fussy cut my images. On the caps of each hat I used Rainbow Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe This powder is so pretty and sparkly, I thought it was perfect way to highlight their rainbow colored hats! I did add in an inked background and used washi tape to create the small rectangle strip across the bottom section of the A2 card panel. I chose a sentiment from the Brutus Monroe – Super Sentimental set. I love the sentiments included in this set and the amazing fonts!

I wanted to create a second card using the Stamp of the Month. I started by stamping the image using Detailed Raven Ink on Bristol Smooth card stock. I then heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder. I then used my Circle Foundation dies from Brutus Monroe to cut out a circle image around the piggie. I colored in my image using my zig clean color brush markers. I chose bright colors for this card. I chose a piece of aqua card stock from my stash and then used the Circle Tone stencil from Brutus Monroe. I used glitter glaze on top of my stencil! I love all the added sparkle! It was so fun to work with! I chose a happy birthday sentiment from the Super Sentimental set.

I hope you enjoyed both of these cards using the Stamp of the Month! If you enjoyed seeing my cards, I would truly appreciate your support if you like these items by using my affiliate links. I would greatly appreciate your support! I hope you have a great day and a healthy week ahead.
