Hi and welcome to my new blog. You will have to bare with me as I learn how to use my new blog to bring you fun new stamping ideas. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve please do not hesitate. I look forward to hearing from you and learning. For my first entry I have a fun easy project using the new (to Stampin' Up) product, Brusho. I am so excited to play with this product. It really is fun and while playing with it I felt like such an artist. Brusho is fine watercolor granules that when they come in contact with water spread and make beautiful colors. For this card I kept is very simple. I took a piece of watercolor paper and using one of the SU pattern party decorative masks, spread a thin layer of embossing paste on the paper. I let that dry and then took my aquapainter and spread water generously all over the image. I then sprinkled the Brusho yellow all over. The water did all the work for me. I let that dry completely and then added more water to the center because I wanted the center to have more concentrated color and stand out a little more. I then let that dry however it was still not dark enough for me in the center and so I added a very little amount of red. These little granules are so potent that you do not need much. Try adding a little and then you can always add more. I was very happy with the results at this point so I decided to keep it simple.
When I was looking for a sentiment to put on the card I immediately thought of Just Add Text stamp set. It really spoke to me about how I was feeling after playing with this new media. I stamped it on a white circle, that I had cut out for a previous project but hadn't used, and rubbed a little ink so that it would blend in. I mounted the card on a piece of daffodil delight paper and kept the layout very clean and simple. I hope you enjoy this and I would love to hear any comments you may have. Thanks for visiting and have a beautiful week!
