Remember this card I shared with you recently, well this is one that we made at my Beachmere Classes and once more I had a few kits left over, which I wanted to use up.  This time I did some experimenting with Brusho which I am falling in love with.   The first card uses exactly the same layout as before except I embossed the background using the Stripes Embossing Folder.  The Daffodil Delight card is once more punched using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and all the panels are attached in the same way.  I stamped the greeting from the Beautiful Day stamp set onto the banner using Pumpkin Pie ink and sponged the edges lightly using the same ink.  I inked the flower from the You’ve Got This stamp set using Versamark and then Basic Black Archival ink and stamped onto Shimmer Paper.  I sprinkled the image with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.  To colour the image I didn’t want to just sprinkle Brusho crystals over the image, so I sprinkled a small amount of Yellow Brusho onto a clear block and used the Aqua Painter to mix the crystals, then I picked up the colour on the Aqua Painter and painted the flower all over.  I cleaned the block, added some Gambouge Brusho crystals and painted them onto the image. Lastly I did the same thing with Brilliant Red Brusho, but I didn’t use a lot of crystal and made the colour very light.   This method let me control where the colour went and how finished flower looked.  The leaves were coloured in the same way using Moss Green Brusho.   I cut out the flower and also the extra leaves, which I attached behind the base of the flower.  The image is attached to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I punched Daffodil Delight card using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch.  The punched piece is attached behind one long edge of Whisper White card embossed using the Stripes Embossing Folder.  The panel is attached to the bottom of Whisper White card.

This card is bright and cheerful and the orange tones of the flower co-ordinate perfectly with the Daffodil Delight card, don’t you think.  I have one more card using up these kits, I will share with you next time.

Bye for now,

Kris
