Brutus Monroe Blog Hop - May Subscription Items

Hi crafty friends! Thanks for joining me today. It's Wednesday, which means blog hop day for the Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team. This week we're sharing projects with some subscription products for May. I'm using the stencil of the month which is absolutely gorgeous!


 I tinted some fallen snow with Green and Blue neon aqua pigments, and mixed some together to create a turquoise transitional shade. They still react with blacklight, but they are somewhat toned down when they are mixed with the glaze. I mixed some Blue and Green neon aqua pigments together to make the turquoise shade and painted a scrap piece of aqua pigment paper. I heat embossed the sentiment in white, and die cut it with one of the hexagon nesting dies. I cut the next size up hexagon out of Alabaster cardstock and layered them together, slightly turned for more interest. I popped the whole thing up on an Alabaster card base. 




The neons are so beautiful even without the blacklight! I am enjoying the vibrant tones for my cards. Have you tried any of the neon collections yet? Share your creations on social media and be sure to use the hashtags #BrutusMonroe and #CreateYourOwnEnding so we can see what you make! 
Hop on over to Marie's blog next to see her gorgeous project!

Hello crafty friends! Lauren here, and I am so excited to be a part of this hop! Starting my blogging journey with a collaboration from two AMAZING companies, Brutus Monroe and Unity Stamp Co., is a dream come true. This collaboration includes four gorgeous backgrounds that you NEED in your collection! Background stamps are incredibly versatile; there are so many cool projects that you'll see as you follow this hop. Be sure to check out the Instagram hop as well, because they are doing a giveaway for a few lucky commenters! Click here for my Instagram... The card was made with the Barn Wall background stamp. 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
