This week we’re welcoming back the lovely Estelle Palumbo into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

Estelle made an industrial masculine card using a Brutus Monroe Circuit Board Stencil and a Best Bots Stamp and Die Bundle. She also used a Waffle Flower Postage A7 dies and Postage Collage A7 Blocks Stencil. 

Andrea made a bookmark using Brutus Monroe’s Uptown Girl Creative Cards. She brought some stenciling fun to the background with lots of dots made with Dina Wakley’s Dotted Tape stencil. She made a nifty tab at the top using Elizabeth Craft’s Tag Pack die set.

Barbara loves having fun with stencils! She created a card using two stencils: Brutus Monroe Linked Slimline and Stampers Anonymous Fractured Mini version set 56. She chose Ranger Distress Oxide Ink pads to color her card. The flower is from the Tim Holtz Collection stamp set Abstract Florals matched with Simon Says Stamp Abstract Florals Wafer Dies.

Kath created a trio of cards using Brutus Monroe Spring Splatter 6″ x 6″ patterned papers and Vellum, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Layering Stencils from Sets 10, 39 and 57 and Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Edges, Alphanumeric Tiny Type Upper and Brushstroke Butterflies Thinlits.

Macarena made a colorfull and bright card adding Brutus Monroe Gilded Metallic Aqua Pigments on the wings of Tim Holtz Sizzix Tattered Butterfly die. She built the background with Hero Arts Nesting Rounded Rectangles Infinity dies and Stamperia Alphabet Media stencil.

Maura was inspired by her brother’s dog-themed birthday card to create an art journal spread. She used a Brutus Monroe’s Pack )f Dogs Stamp Set, a Pennant Mixed Media Stencil and a Playful Patterns Paper Pad.

Meihsia was inspired to create an art journal page using Brutus Monroe Under the Big Top Mixed Media Stencil and Ranger Dylusions Shimmer Spray Bundle Of 6 on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology PAPER DOLLS PORTRAiTS and Tim Holtz idea-ology Clippings Sticker Book.

Zoey used Brutus Monroe Rust Aqua Pigment to add touches of color to her ATC. She also used Mini Stencil Set 5 to add some textures. Finally she decorate her ATC with Ideaology products
