I am very lucky my best friend likes to craft and she has an amazing basement that is called “Meca”. We like to get together and craft together fairy often till the wee hours of the night. Sometimes I know what I am going to create and other times it goes not as expected, but always there is a great time.

To start this project with a piece of “Brutus Monroe Not Your Mama’s Cardstock” and spread “iCraft Transfer Gel- Duo ” with a Pallet knife and set this aside to dry. I have many stripes of leftover foil from other projects that I have done. Using a laminator I foiled the “Brutus Monroe A2 Toner Mixables 4.25″ x 5.5″ sheets – Really Radiant” with the “Deco Foil Transfer Sheets- Gold”. Then I laid the strips of foil (“Deco Foil Transfer Sheets- Gold, Denim, Turquoise and Teal “) on my dried gel cardstock and ran it through a laminator.

Ink blend “Pink Fresh Inks- Yellow and Orange” on the foiled “Brutus Monroe A2 Toner Mixables 4.25″ x 5.5″ sheets – Really Radiant”. Then using the “iCraft Memory Runner XL” I attached the card panels to my “Tim Holtz Etcetera Thick Board – Medium Tag”.

Then with a pallet knife I added “Glitter Glaze-Gold” and let dry. After it was dry I blended “Alcohol Inks, Reds, Orange and Yellow” with a spray bottle of water; then let it dry.

Next using a die machine I die cut the leaves from the “Brutus Monroe Fabulous Florals Die Set” from the gelled and foiled cardstock. I attached these using “iCraft 3D Foam Tape Jumbo Roll (White) 1/8 Thick x 54ft” and “iCraft Ultrabond Clear Adhesive”. I attached my gold “L.I.V.E.” letters the same way.
