More Brusho Watercolor Crystals with the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits

Good Morning and Happy Thursday! It's early morning here in CNY, we're beginning to warm up a bit since the last time we "talked". And yes, my voice is beginning to improve. Still a bit raspy but I'm able get the words out. Forward progress right?

Anyhoo, I have another card using Brusho today. I've had fun this week playing with it. In this card, I used the "smooshing" technique where I sprinkled the color crystals onto my craft mat then spritzed them with water creating little puddles of color. I then took my Shimmery White cardstock and "smooshed" it into the ink. Once I was happy with the coverage, I used my heat tool to dry the ink so that I could adhere it to the front of my Night of Navy card base.
I then ran a piece of the Sale-a-bration Grapefruit Grove through the Big Shot with the Butterfly thinlit and a piece of Night of Navy with the other. I then layered the 2 butterfly pieces together using a little Snail adhesive then adhered them to the card front. This really was a quick and simple card to make and I truly enjoyed playing with my Brusho.

Until next time, stay warm and have a great day,
Happy Stamping,

Brusho For those Milestone Moments

Hello and Happy Sunday! I'm a bit late this evening but the day ran away from me..but it was a productive crafty day. I designed my swaps for an up coming demo swap I am participating in, I designed my cards for the Stampin' Blends club for the month (OMG...I'm loving how these came out!) just sayin' - but, they are exclusive to my Blends club. And I designed my card and typed up my tutorial for the tutorial coop I participate in.
Today my parents celebrate 49 years of marriage! Amazing right? Well, that leads me to the card I created for them today. I wanted to play some more with my Brusho and thought this was a perfect reason. And the best part....this card is so quick and simple! And who doesn't love quick and simple? This time, I pulled out my little paint pallet and tapped a little of the Brusho crystals into the wells, I used the red, Prussian Blue and Yellow and dropped some water from my Aqua Painter into the wells to create the watercolor. Then using my Aqua Painter, I picked up the liquid color and just "scribbled" it onto my Whisper White piece that measures 3 3/4" x 5".
Once I was happy with the color, I used my heat tool to dry the watercolor, flipping my paper occasionally to minimize the warping. I stamped the Happy Anniversary in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and wrapped a piece of the Night of Navy gingham ribbon around the piece and tied it into a bow. I adhered this down onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock cut 4" x 5 1/4" with Fast Fuse and adhered that all down to a standard card base of Daffodil Delight. I love blues and yellows together and this card was no exception.
I hope you enjoyed today's card. Below you will find everything you need to reproduce this card. If you would like to receive lots of free tutorials, please sign up for my newsletter here.

Brusho Background

Hello and Happy Thursday! I hope you all survived the big winter storm yesterday unscathed? We got just around a foot of snow from it..nothing too unusual around here. Now, I'm getting ready for some more travel over the next few weeks. Next Thursday I head for New Jersey and the last week of the month, I head off to Alabama! I haven't traveled this much in my entire life! But, this is a "one time" thing and then life will return to normal again. But in the meantime, I did get to steal away some time in my craft room and I pulled out my Brusho to play with and this is what I came up with:
I love this stuff! It's so versatile and you can use it in so many ways. For this card, I did the "smooshing" technique using the Yellow, Brilliant Red and Prussian Blue. You can follow the video here. I stamped the butterfly from the Beautiful Day stamp set with Versamark® ink onto Vellum cardstock and embossed it in Gold Stampin' emboss powder.. I colored the wings in with the Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party and Night of Navy Stampin' Blends on the reverse side of the vellum and fussy cut it out.

Basic Black: 8.5" x 5.5" scored and folded 4.25"; 3.25" x 4.25"; 1" x 4.25"
