Blossom Basket and Brusho with Spray Starch

Hello,

Today I want to share another card I made using the shaving cream techniques.  I had a lot of fun one day experimenting with what you could do with spray starch.

• Spray Starch on a piece of Watercolor Paper.
• Sprinkle Red, Yellow and a little bit of the Blue Brusho on top.
• With a paper towel you can dab away and excess.  Set aside to dry or if you are inpatient you can also dry with a heat gun.
• Stamp Blossom Basket in Basic Black Ink and attach to Basic Black layer.
• Dry Emboss the Daffodil Delight piece with the new Basket Weave Embossing folder.
• Attach basket layer with dimensionals and attach ribbon.
• Attach to final Basic Black layer.

It would be so easy to sit down and make several of these backgrounds at once and then turn them into cards at a later time.

The Blossom Basket Bundle is free with a $100.00 purchase thru March 31st.  Sale-a-Bration is in the final week.

Beautiful Peacock meet Brusho

Hello Ladies & maybe Gents,

Hope everyone is starting to enjoy some signs of Spring.  We are having a nice dose of it right now.  But along with with Spring coming also means Spring clean up in the gardens which I hate doing.

Now onto today's project..

With Sale-a-Bration coming to an end in just a few weeks I decided I needed to work with this Beautiful Peacock stamp set (free with $50.00 after S&T).  I decided to combine it with the Brusho crystals.

I have watched so many different videos on using Brusho, so I am not linking any specific person here, but thank you to everyone with all the great techniques.  On youtube just search Brusho, or if you want to be more specific you can search Stampin' Up Brusho.

• On Watercolor Paper you need to saturate the piece with Spray Starch.  
• Sprinkle Yellow, Orange and a little bit of Green Brusho on top. The green adds a hint of purple.
• Give it just a few minutes to soak into the Watercolor Paper then lay a paper towel on top and set aside to dry.
• While that is drying you can stamp the peacock in Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig on Whisper White.
• Die cut it out using The Layering Circles.
• Also die cut next layer out of the center of the Fresh Fig layer.
• Take a piece of Fresh Fig and Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon and unravel it.
• Attach to the back of the Fresh Fig piece.
• Once the Watercolor piece is dry, stamp the Peacock feather's and the dots in Fresh Fig and Lemon Lime Twist.
• Attach all layers.
• Add Peacock with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Brusho Happy Birthday and It's Sale-a-Bration Time!

Hello,

Happy New Year.  I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season.  Here we are into 2018.  Can you believe it.

Our first grandchild is due in a few weeks and 😀 we are so excited.

With a new year always comes all the resolutions everyone makes.  I personally don't like to do that, because I feel I am just setting myself up for failure.  If you are one that does do that, I wish you all the luck!  Although it's not a resolution, I do plan on getting better about posting.  I know I have said this before, but, kudos to all those demonstrators or carfter's that post everyday.  I know it takes a lot of time and effort.

Before I tell you about today's project I want to let you know that the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs are live.  Sale-a-Bration runs through March 31st, and Occasions runs through May 31st.  If you don't have a catalog, you have several ways to get one.  You can sign up for the Stampin' Palooza, details here, and you will receive a free copy.  Or, shoot me an e-mail and we can make arrangements for you to get a copy.

On to today's project.  We have a new product in the Occasions catalog, it's called Brusho.  I am loving it.  Today I am going to share a couple quick cards I made using Brusho.  I have some many ideas of other things to try with this product.  But, for today I kept it very simple.

Brusho is a very fine powder, and when mixed with a liquid it blends all the powders together.  When you get your Brusho you don't need to pull the tab and open the bottle, just use a push pin to punch a hole in the top.  A little goes a long way with this powder.

I used the yellow and the Gamboge which is an orange color.  Sprinkle the powders on the Water Color paper and spritz with water.  You will see when the powder hits the water it all starts to blend together.  If you don't think it's dark enough, you can add more powder.  Set aside to dry, or dry with a heat gun.

After it is dry stamp with Memento Black Ink and emboss with clear embossing powder. Randomly  stamp the ink splotches with Black Ink.  Attach Ribbon and layer onto Basic Black then Crushed Curry.

The one was also done on Water Color paper using the Prussian Blue, Moss Green and a little bit of the Yellow.  Be careful with the blue it can get very dark.  A little goes a long way!

Stamp Happy Birthday with Basic Black then, I added a 1/2" strip of Basic Black paper and Bermuda Bay ribbon on top. (it is free with a $50.00 purchase in the Sale-a-Bration Catalog).  The bling is the new Adhesive Sequins and a pearl colored with the Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends.  Layer on top of Basic black and Bermuda Bay.
