Beautiful Day Dreams

Beautiful Day

I was playing with the butterfly in the Beautiful Day set and came up with these backgrounds. Starting with watercolor paper, I stamped an old background in Soft Suede and then stamped the butterfly with water only. The magic happens when you sprinkle Brusho over the water stamped images. Do this slowly – meaning add a color, let it “do it’s thing” and then add your next color. Then I tilted the paper to the side to let the Brushos run and spread the colors around. Because I used blue and orange on this piece (and blue and orange make brown) I did one butterfly, let it dry, and then did the next one. I added a beautiful, but retired, sentiment from Verve.

For this card I started with the new Crackle background on watercolor paper. I stamped the butterflies in water and added blue and yellow Brushos. This is really addicting 🙂 Hugs, Fran

Have you  tried Brushos?  There is a really nice selection of Brushos in the Occasions catalog.  These are powdered crystals that react to water, can be painted like watercolor or sprinkled on wet paper.  They are addicting!  I started with the Floral Statements stamp set on water color paper, stamped in Archival Black, and painted the blue rose with the Brushos.  Then I started doing the background by shaking on the Brushos in Green and Yellow.  The mat behind the stamp is also done the same way.  I used Nuvo Drops in Simple White to add some accents.  Hugs, Fran
