Brutus Monroe Christmas Card Hop

Hey crafty friends! Thanks for hoping over to my blog today! The Brutus Monroe inspiration team is gearing up for Christmas and finishing up our holiday cards this week. I had a lot of backgrounds already made with the Freshly Cut background stamp and I've been needing to turn them into cards! For this one, I had heat embossed the background stamp in gold onto aqua pigment paper, and I did a wash of aqua pigments over the top in the colors green and yellow.


I heat embossed the Festive Deer stamp onto a piece of heat resistant vellum, and trimmed it down on the sides. Then I die cut a rectangular window from the center of a piece of Alabaster cardstock, and adhered the vellum strip to the back of the window. I put foam tape all around the back of the frame, and stuck it to a larger Alabaster cardstock mat. This gave it a floating effect. I finished the card with some acrylic bubbles and gold sequins.  


Have you finished your holiday cards yet? Share your creations on social media, and don't forget to use the hashtags #BrutusMonroe and #CreateYourOwnEnding so we can see what you make! If you haven't already seen the other blogs, be sure to hop around and check out everyone's projects.

I started by stamping it in Brutus Monroe's Raven ink , and then using a laser printer to photocopy the image onto the Brutus Monroe aqua pigment paper . Luckily it is lightweight enough to not jam up the laser printer! I used DecoFoil in the color "Gold" and ran the project through my laminator, leaving this lovely gold foiled background. Ne
