I did a fun Brusho technique class a few weeks ago and this is one of the projects we made. It is stunning visually and it was super easy to make!
The Beautiful Day Stamp Set is perfect for this technique. We white embossed the big flower image on watercolor paper and then used Brusho to add the color. This flower features Prussian Blue and Brilliant Red, they create this luscious blueish purple color when they are allowed to activate together with water and not over worked. So pretty! After the flower dried, we fussy cut it out and popped it onto the card front. The rest of the card was fast and easy and showcased the beautifully colored flower 🙂
So gorgeous!
Creative Tips:
- After you have embossed the flower, paint with water first everywhere inside the flower. Sprinkle on your Brusho, more red towards the top and more blue towards the bottom. You can always add more of the Brusho crystals if the you don’t like the initial color saturation, it is much harder to pull the color back without it getting muddy. If your flower is too wet, blot with a paper towel. Let your flower dry completely before fussy cutting.
- The leaf is colored with Moss Green Brusho. I have also seen posts where demos have added ink color to the green as an underlying tint. That’s really pretty too. With this one I just painted the leaf with water first and sprinkled a little Moss Green and then didn’t work it too much with the aqua painter after adding the Brusho.
- The added ribbon and bling give the card some pop with the deeply saturated flower. I love the simple richness.
I hope you have a fabulous, creative day! Happy Stamping 🙂
