6 cards with the Brutus Monroe Mermaid Inspiration Kit


So much goodness in this box!  Today we are playing with the Brutus Monroe Mermaid Inspiration Box and I have made 6 cards to share with you.  I had to limit myself to 6 because I certainly could have kept going!  I've used lots of techniques so that there's lots of variety and originality between each one.  In the kit you get cardstock, embellishments, ink, a stamp set, a die, ready to foil panels in 4 different patterns, embossed panels and vellum.  Each kit is a little different and I love that.  I tend not to buy card kits because they tend to come with a lot of supplies I just don't use such as washi tape, patterned paper and ribbon and most of the time the stamp set is tired and boring.  However, I've been pleasantly surprised with Monroe's kits and will keep buying them.  Lets move to the exciting part: the cards!  The supplies listed for each card aren't included in the kit.  Here's the video tutorial on my YouTube channel.

I don't know if I can pick a favorite, but the sunset hair mermaid is awesome and I love her.  Also love all the foiled backgrounds, especially the rainbow fishies.   This is such a fun kit, lots to do with it and a lot of supplies as well.  What do you think of my format of putting 6 cards in one video?  Too long?  Just right?  Let me know in the comments what you think or if you have any questions.

For Christ's glory and much love,
Jasmine
