Birthday Blooms

Have I told you that birthday blooms is one of my favourite stamp sets.  I just love the flower in this set, it is so pretty.  

This card is coloured using the Stampin Blends, I have used the pool party and marina mist for the flower and the leaves were coloured using old olive.  The flower is layered on a piece of glossy card which has had brusho sprinkled on and spritzed.  Greeting is from You're Inspiring stamp set.

The flower on this card is watercoloured using calypso coral and melon mambo.  Leaves are coloured using old olive.  The base is pear pizzazz and top layer is melon mambo.  I have used the sweet soiree decorative masks and the shimmery white embossing paste.

Remarkable You!

Today's cards use the stamp set remarkable you.  Backgrounds for all cards is Brusho crystal colour.  Greeting is from lift me up stamp set.

Southern Serenade meets Pattern Party Decorative Masks

Today's card uses the stamp set "Southern Serenade".  I have stamped the flower on whisper white using memento ink and used the Stampin Blends to colour in the flower.  I have used marina mist, Bermuda Bay and pool party for the flowers and for the leaves I have used smokey slate.  My base card is whisper white with a layer of soft sky.  On the soft sky I have used the Pattern Party Decorative Masks.  The embossing paste is the shimmery white from the new Occasions Catalogue which I have mixed with some Prussian blue brusho.  The greeting is from you're inspiring stamp set.

Beautiful Day CASE and my take on it

As you know, I love casing cards.  I am not overly creative, but have a good eye for reproducing something that I like with minimal instruction.  

Today I cased the card below from Bj Peters, a fellow demonstrator.  You can view her card here.  

I used glossy white for my layer.

My take on BJ's card.  I also used glossy card for this one too, I love the way the brusho interacts on the glossy card.  For this card I have used the Prussian blue and spritzed with alcohol.  The great thing about brusho is that every background is different.  You can so many variations from even just one colour.  The flower is stamped in versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder.  I have then coloured in the flowur with marina mist and smoky slate stampin blends.

You're Inspiring!!!! with brusho

I'm sure by now that you would have noticed I just love brusho!!!!  Here are some more cards that I have made with the technique I shared on my blog a few weeks ago.  You can see the original technique here.

The image I have added to my card today is the daffodil from the stamp set you're inspiring.  I just love it.  I have coloured in with daffodil delight and the green is wild wasabi and shading on leaf is smoky slate.  

On my second card I have added some texture using shimmering white embossing paste and sweet soiree decorative masks.  I was thrilled with the way this card turned out.

You've got this meets brusho

I just love the flower from You've Got This stamp set.  It is so versatile and gives a lovely crisp image when stamped.  

My first card I cased from a fellow demonstrator called Carole Beattie Parsons who shared her creation on our facebook demonstrator page.  She inspired me to have a go using air :)  I have used the brusho crystal colours with water on watercolour paper and used a colour spritzer tool that has been long retired from Stampin Up.  Image is stamped in black and greeting is from Lift Me Up stamp set.

My second card is a variation of a technique I focused on my post here.  I went wild with this technique and have lots of samples to share in the coming days.

Beautiful day, Brusho and shimmery white embossing paste

Today's cards feature the stamp set Beautiful Day from the 2018 Occasions catalogue.  I just love the large bold images of the flower and the butterfly.

 On My first card, I have a base of delightful daffodil and top layer of wild wasabi.  The mask is using Pattern Party Decorative Mask brick wall pattern.  The embossing paste is shimmery white mixed with brusho crystal colour.  The butterfly is stamped in dapper denim and cut out using my brother scan n cut machine.

 My second card is on a base of whisper white and has 2 layers, bottom being basic black and whisper white on top.  I have repeated the masking as in my first card.  The flower is stamped in archival black and coloured in with my aquapainter using dapper denim and old olive.   The greeting on both cards is from You're inspiring stamp set.

Beautiful day butterfly

Yesterday I did a post on using brusho crystal colour on glossy card.  You can see my previous post here.  As a result I ended up with two pieces of card.  On the second piece, I decided to coordinate my butterfly from the Beautiful Day stamp set.  On my layer I had used brusho powders yellow, mossy green and Prussian blue.  I used the mossy green and Prussian blue to colour in my butterfly using my wink of stella pen which gives the butterfly a nice sheen.  I used my brother scan n cut machine to cut out the butterfly.  I am really happy with the way this card turned out.  The greeting is from perennial birthday stamp set.

Waterfront on glossy card using Brusho Crystal colour and Rubbing Alcohol

Waterfront Stamp Set from the Occasions Catalogue has to be my favourite stamp set at the moment.

Here is a landscape scene I have created using glossy card and brusho for the background.

Step One:  Have your glossy card landscape and sprinkle yellow along the top (about 1/3).  Next sprinkle the Moss green along the middle and then the Prussian blue down the bottom. 

Step Two:  Spray with the alcohol. If you don't have alcohol just spray with water. 

Step Three:  Lay another glossy piece on top with glossy sides touching.

Step Four:  Run a brayer over the top which will distribute the colour over both pieces of glossy card.

Step Five:  Separate both pieces of glossy card. 

You now have two pieces of glossy card to work with.  

Step Six:  Stamp the sun in crushed curry in top left corner and the mountains across the top in marina mist.

Step Seven:  Using the mountain stamp still, overlap the mountain images with smoky slate.

Step Eight:  Stamp the long skinny piece in wild wasabi, overlapping across the base of the mountains.

Step Nine:  Using pool party, Stamp the triangular water image along the bottom  .

Step Ten:  Using island indigo,  add the detailed water image diagonally overlapping each image. 

Step Eleven:  Add the trees stamped in early espresso.

Step Twelve:  From the High Tide stamp set, add the seagulls stamped in island indigo.
