Brutus Monroe Baroque

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!

The mom of daughters, married to "My Favorite", Nanna to two young grandsons, owner of a private housecleaning business, a lady biker and a card artist, my life is full and satisfying! I've had no formal art training, but all seven of my siblings and I inherited my Dad's artistic ability! My style has changed quite a bit over the years, but I'm still passionate about my craft and desire to encourage, inspire and motivate others in their stamping and card-making endeavors.
