Hey there! Welcome to the B|M Inspiration Team Blog Hop! This week we feature the subscription products available in April 2019. My project includes the Stencil of the Month and an add-on stamp set for the Inspiration Box, called Happy Rose.

To begin this card, I sprayed my stencil with Pixie Spray from Therm O Web, to make sure that the Aqua Pigment did not seep under the stencil. Then l used a Ranger blending tool to daub Licorice Aqua Pigment over the cardstock. This is a metallic pigment and it leaves a shimmery ghost-like effect on the dark cardstock. I trimmed the stenciled cardstock down to 4 x 5.25”. Then I heat embossed the sentiment from the Happy Rose stamp set on the front using Alabaster Embossing Powder.

The day before, I had stamped out the Happy Rose image onto to some Bristol Smooth cardstock several times and colored them in with different marks. For this particular rose, I used Arteza Real Brush Pens. I fussy cut the image out and set it aside. Then, I took out some B|M Heat-Resistant Vellum and stamped the rose image using B|M Clear Embossing Ink and embossed it with Alabaster Embossing Powder. Then, I fussy cut the vellum rose out and adhered the leaves to the back of the colored rose.

To finish off the card, I popped the rose up on some foam tape and then adhered it all on to the front of an A2 sized card base.

I hope you enjoyed this card today and that you will continue hopping to see all the amazing cards my team mates have created using the April Subscription items from Brutus Monroe.
