Thankful for You – Die of the Month

July 13, 2020

Hi Crafty Friends! I hope this post finds you doing well! It is hard to believe it is mid-July! It has been very hot here in NY and today we have a milder summer day! It feels good to have the windows open! I wanted to stop in and share a card with you using the new Die of the Month from Brutus Monroe. I love happy mail and this die is so beautiful! Let’s get started!

I wanted to keep my card simple today to showcase this beautiful die. I die cut the image using Canson Mixed Media paper. When I first started I wasn’t sure if I was going to watercolor the die cut. But once I cut it out…. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I created a rainbow background using Peerless watercolors on Canson XL watercolor cardstock. Once my rainbow panel was dry, I glued the beautiful tree/fence right on top of my rainbow background.

I then added a few sequins in pink and yellow for a little extra shine. I then stamped the Thankful for You sentiment – Super Sentimental using Alabaster Embossing powder and Brutus Monroe embossing ink. I trimmed down my sentiment and adhered this with foam tape. This die is so beautiful – it truly did all the work for me! A simple watercolor background and my card was done.

Here is a link to the current SALE items at Brutus Monroe.

Have a great day! Crafty Hugs,

Natasha
