Welcome to my blog! I’m still on a bit of a high from making it public today that I’ve recently joined the Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team! AND! My first order of stamps and supplies arrived today, so I had to sit right down and play! I was sad to realize that this gorgeous Baroque Background stamp is about to retire; thankfully, there are more very elegant stamps on the website so be sure to check it out! Anyway, I also ordered some of the Surface Inks and can I just say “WOW!!!” I can’t believe how richly pigmented the color is!! For this card I used Terra Cotta ink and sponged it around the edges of my gold-embossed panel. I then sponged on a little Sidewalk ink to the center.
Deciding to keep the background as the main focal point, I gold-embossed Happy Birthday from Break The Rules set onto a strip of vellum. Two shiny gold brads accent the sides!The red and gold really pop against the white base card and a panel of gold metallic paper in between was the perfect way to join them! I loved using my new Brutus Monroe stamps and inks and can’t wait to make another card! Till then, thank you for visiting!
