Karen Burniston Brutus Monroe Blog Hop and Give Away

Welcome to the blog hop!  This A-2 card uses the Brutus Monroe Balloon Animal stamp set and the Karen Burniston, Snowman Twist Circle, Katherine Label and Outdoor Scene dies.  The background uses Distressed Oxide ink to make the sky and the balloons are colored with Copic.

The little piggy’s head is popped up on foam tape and the basket is accented with white gel pen.

Inside the Katherine Label moves the balloon across the page!  Obviously the Katherine Label die is one of my favorites and it is my give away today.  Leave a comment below for a chance to win a Katherine Label die of you own!  Winners will be selected on May 24th. And make sure to follow the hop for chances to win a die from all of the designers.  The next stop on this hop is the very talented and super sweet Kelly Booth!

Karen Burniston – Brutus Monroe – Rose Border

This 5 x 5  card is done with the Brutus Monroe Rose Border heat embossed with gold powder across the front. It’s such an elegant image!

I paired it with the Karen Burniston Katherine Label popping up the sentiment.  The Rose Border continues across the bottom of the card, set off with gold foil.

Look how detailed this image is!

The sentiment is Stampin Up and looks beautiful moving across the card as it’s opened.  The embossed background is Stampin Up.  Make sure to check back tomorrow for a give away!  Hugs, Fran

KB Riley – Brutus Monroe – Cat Life

This Brutus Monroe set is called Cat Life – and isn’t it cute!  It made me think of the cartoon pages in the newspaper.  So I decided to do this card in black and white.  The front has sections showing off the cats and their antics.

I used my gray Copics to color the animals.

Inside features the Karen Burniston Twist Panel die!  It’s a great die to use with a scene 🙂

The card winds up with “You are my favorite human!”  Cute!  Remember that there will be a give away on Thursday!  Hugs, Fran

KB Design Team with Brutus Monroe

This week the Karen Burniston Design Team is teaming up with Brutus Monroe!  For this card I used the cute stamp set called Balloon Animals and the wonderful KB die – Katherine Label!

I stamped and colored the Dog and several hot air balloons for the front.  The puppy’s head has been popped up on foam.  The circles and trim are from the Snowman Twist die from Karen Burniston.

The inside shows the Puppy flying across the sky 🙂  I finished the card off with more hot air balloons and a greeting from the KB Word Set 1.  Stay with us this week because there will be a give away on Thursday! So fun!  Hugs, Fran
