TV/Movie Theme - Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends! Thanks for stopping by. Today we have a really fun theme for you: TV/Movie inspired cards! I have been wanting to use this new stamp set for a couple weeks now, I love the whimsical windows and the little alley cats creeping around.


I first embossed the image half-off the edges of a panel of aqua pigment paper, using Raven embossing powder. I hand-drew the lines for the sides of the building and then watercolored the buildings using color burst powders, and black and brown aqua pigments. I masked off the buildings and used the String Lights stamp set to put the lights between the two buildings, and painted the middle area. I used a black pen and marker to draw in the "Sharks" and "Jets" graffiti to show the two rival gang territories. I finished it off by die-cutting "Choose Love" with the Lowercase Alpha die set which is super low priced right now (7 dollars for the set!). I love the sentiment, and I'm a firm believer that life is too short to choose anything but love. 

Have you ever been inspired to create a card based on a movie or a TV show? I hope you enjoyed my card, and be sure to follow along our hop to see all of the other awesome projects! This is such a fun hop!

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...
