Brutus Monroe Hop - Glitter Glaze!
Hi crafty friends!
Para la versión en español, ¡haz click aquí!
I had the hardest time choosing what projects to use for this hop, which showcases the Brutus Monroe glitter glaze! I have a TON of projects with it, and I really really love it. I own all the colors, and I subscribe to their glitter glaze of the month club as well. I can't get enough! The glitter glaze of the month club is 8.00 shipped, and you'll get an exclusive color sent straight to your door every month!
For the first project, I used the colors Berry and Glacier, which is the November glitter glaze color of the month! It's a really gorgeous icy blue color. To make the ombre background, I take a little scoop of each color and mix it together on my glass mat to make a transitional color. This helps create a smoother flow between colors and no obvious lines. I taped my Snowflake stencil to the Alabaster cardstock panel using purple tape, and began to spread the darkest color Berry along the bottom. I switched to the transitional mixed shade about 1/3 of the way up, and then finished with the lightest shade Glacier at the top. I heat embossed the "Let It Snow" sentiment from the Merry & Bright stamp set using Alabaster EP onto a strip of vellum, and I wrapped it vertically around the card panel when it was dry. I glued a few little clear drops and jewels to finish it off.
For the second project, I used the colors Berry, Glacier and Emerald.
Using the same technique, I mixed transitional tones with Berry and Glacier, and Glacier and Emerald. With the Folkwave stencil, I spread the gradient colors onto a panel of Alabaster cardstock and set it aside to dry.
I stamped the mermaid from the Mermaid Lagoon stamp set onto aqua pigment paper with the Raven detail ink, and colored it using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens. I used a Spectrum Noir shimmer pen to blend the colors together and give it some shine. I fussy cut the tails of the mermaid, and then heat embossed the sentiment onto Raven cardstock with Alabaster EP. I matted the sentiment onto some Mermaid glitterstock. I popped the sentiment up with foam tape and then adhered the mermaid tails sticking out from under it.
For the last project, I used a very different technique. I used the Jagged Heart stencil, and I spread raspberry, grape and unicorn horn glitter glaze onto a piece of wax paper. When it is completely dry, you can peel it off and use it as embellishments!
I mixed Fuschia and Black aqua pigments to create a dark pink color and painted stripes across a piece of aqua pigment paper. I heat embossed the sentiment from the "Sprinkled with Love" stamp set and clipped it into a banner shape. By scoring each side twice, you can pop it up on the card front. I glued the glitter glaze hearts around the card and even popped a few of them up with foam tape! This was a super fun technique and I can't wait to try it again with other stencils.
