Bundles of Hugs Card using Brutus Monroe Bundles of Autumn Stamp Set and Weathered Wood Paper Pad

Hi Friends!  Hope you're having a fabulous day!  I'm sharing an adorable card today using the gorgeous Bundles of Autumn Stamp Set along with the Weathered Wood Paper Pad!

This huge Bundles of Autumn Stamp Set has some fabulous images and sentiments!  I started with an A2 Kraft Card Base and layered on a panel of the Weathered Wood Paper that measured 5-1/4" x 4".  I love the beautiful colors and textures in this paper... it's so so beautiful!  The focal stitched rectangle panel was cut from Watercolor Paper.  I stamped the squirrel first with Versafine Onyx Black Ink directly to the panel.  I also stamped the squirrel on masking paper and placed over the stamped squirrel so that I could stamp the group of acorns behind the squirrel.  I used a variety of Distress Inks to color in the squirrel, the acorns and to make a background wash.  I added some Wink of Stella to the acorns to add some shine!

To finish off the panel, I stamped the sentiment in the upper left in more of the Versafine Onyx Black Ink and added some Dark Brown paint splatters to the panel.  I matted the watercolor panel with Dark Brown Cardstock and ran some natural twine around the bottom of the panel three times and then tied it in a bow on the left side. I popped up the matted panel with Dimensionals over the Weathered Wood Paper Background.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

 

Brutus Monroe Judy's Wreath Hello Card

Hi There!  I hope you've been having an awesome week!   It's Friday and that is almost always a very good day!  I'm over at the Brutus Monroe Blog today with a card using the beautiful Judy’s Wreath Die Set … such an awesome set of dies!!

Not only does this set contain a beautiful wreath base but it has a ton of beautiful leaves and flowers to add on or to use on their own.  I love the font for the "hello" that is included in the set with both the word and shadow!  My A2 Card base was cut from a Dark Emerald Green Cardstock.  I layered on a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" panel of Wood Grain Paper from Brutus Monroe's Weathered Wood Paper Pad.  If you don't have this beautiful paper, you need it!  It is gorgeous! 

I love to use those little scraps of cardstock left over from other projects.  I grabbed some yellow, pink, coral, and greens to cut out all of the parts to the wreath.  The base of the wreath was the same Dark Emerald Green as the card base.  The other layered leaves were cut from a Jade Green Cardstock that was the same tone but just a shade or two lighter to add a little dimension.  The inserts in the yellow flowers were yellow and colored in with a Bronze Alcohol Marker and then brushed with a little Wink of Stella.  I used Vellum Cardstock for the word shadow and the same darker green that I used for the wreath base to cut out the hello.   I added a large messy bow of Linen Thread on the lower right side and three Jewels to finish it off!
