simon says stamp monday challenge: use a new product

Hi crafty friends, Happy New Year and welcome to this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week our challenge is to use something new or unused and the design team is using products from Brutus Monroe. I decided to try out their Pink Flamingo Velveteen Glaze and it was the perfect shiny (and super bright) complement to my mixed media tag. 

To create this tag, I applied pieces of Typeset Collage Paper to a tag that I cut from White Distress Mixed Media Heavy Stock using DIstress Collage Medium. I applied a layer of gesso and Dried Marigold Distress Paint.  Then I applied the Brutus Monroe Velveteen Glaze in Pink Flamingo through the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Hearts stencil and let it dry.  

I adhered the Simon Says Stamp Etched Laurel Die cut and layered on the Photobooth photo. Then I inked a Heirloom Rose with Mushroom Alcohol Ink and added it to the tag. Using the DIstress Splatter Brush, I splatted the entire tag with Black Soot and Tarnished Brass Distress Paints. To finish my tag, I added the Snarky Small Talk stickers and inked the edges of the entire tag with Black Soot Distress Ink. I cut a reinforcer hole from Hero Arts Azalea cardstock and added it to the top to complete the tag.
