This card features a 2×3 stamp set that was one of the Stamps of the Month. You can see the entire set below.

Available at Brutus Monroe for $4.99

I used a stamp positioner and the Wreath Builder Stencil from Gina K Designs to create the wreath with chick images and a smaller heart stamp to create the front of my card panel.

Images stamped on Aqua Pigment Watercolor Paper and Glossy Accents added to hearts for added interest

I used a rainbow pattern of aqua pigments and colored the images as you would watercolor. I used red to color all the hearts. Once dried, I added a small amount of glossy accents to each of the hearts for added shine and dimension.

Aqua Pigments are very versatile and come in a variety of colors.

To finish my card, I matted several layers and heat embossed my sentiment on a circle punch using black glitter card stock for added interest.

Measurement of my finished card is 5.5 in x 5.5 in square.

  • Watercolor panel – 4.25 in x 4.25 in
  • Black Matt – 4 3/8 in x 4 3/8 in
  • Red Matt – 5 in x 5 in
  • Black Matt – 5 3/8 in x 5 3/8 in
  • Red Card Base- 5.5 in x 5.5 in (I glue a piece of lightweight white card stock or copy paper slightly smaller and adhere only at the top so you can write your message easily inside when using darker card bases.
  • Sentiment heat embossed with Alabaster White on black glitter card stock and matted with red to coordinate with the other layers.

Brutus Monroe Design Team Project

I joined the Brutus Monroe Design Team in 2022 and wanted to share my projects for January 2022. Here is my first project featuring Sweet Candy stamp set and a variety of Brutus Monroe embossing powders.

Sweet Candy Stamp Set featuring Brutus Monroe Embossing Powder

I had a lot of fun creating backgrounds and design elements, including stamping the images on lunch bag card-stock with Brutus Monroe clear embossing ink and embossing them using Brutus Monroe alabaster white embossing powder. I felt this gave the look of royal icing on gingerbread. For a special touch, I ink blended the edges to give it a an oven baked look.

I finished off the card using white embossing powder on black card-stock using a sentiment from the set, “Thank you for being so sweet.”
