I Believe In You w/Brutus Monroe

Have you check out the Inspiration Boxes yet from Brutus Monroe?  If you're a crafter who sometimes needs a little bit of "motivation and inspiration in a box", then the Inspiration Box is a great choice for you. Each Inspiration Box has a theme, and contains stamps, dies, papers, sequins and ribbons (among other things) to coordinate nicely with the theme of the box.  During the Month of November, the Inspiration Box is called Four Legged Friends, and it's filled with FUN.

I used some of the awesome cardstock from the Four Legged Friends Inspiration Box to create my card base, and I added some patterned paper to my design.  How CUTE is that little wind-up mouse image?  I used Hickory Smoke Tim Holtz Oxide Ink to stamp it on the background.  Next, I rubbed Spun Sugar Oxide Ink on the background and covered it with a spot of patterned paper.

The images in the Four Legged Friends Stamp Set are adorable.  To be perfectly honest, I am NOT a cat lover.  And yet, I adore these sweet images.  I have lots of cat-loving friends/family members and four-legged friends in general.   We all do.  That's why the Four Legged Friends Inspiration Box is such a fun one to own.  Who wouldn't love to get a pick-me-up like this in the mail?  Brutus Monroe can help YOU get creative.

All the images in this set are SO cute.  I used a small Maya Road fabric tag to give some extra dimension.  On top of that, I placed a sweet cream bow using the beautiful ribbon assortment found in the Inspiration Box.  I also stamped and die-cut the cute yarn balls and wind-up mouse that I added.  The sentiment is from the Unique Unicorn Inspiration Box stamp set.  Let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll hope to see you here again soon.

Blessings,

Karen
