Striped Meadow

As promised earlier this week, here is another card made with the same Brusho Crystals colors as Monday's card.  This time I chose the In the Meadow stamp set for the image over the top of the altered paper.

I added some Pear Pizzazz card stock that was embossed with the Stripes folder and a True gentleman button for some texture.

Supplies:

In the Meadow

Memento Black ink

Brusho Crystals

Glossy White card stock

Pear Pizzazz, Basic Gray, Dapper Denim card stock

True gentleman buttons

Stripes impressions folder

Brusho Leaves

This  card is another example of using some of the Brusho crystals altered Glossy white card stock I messed around with awhile back.  I will have another sample with the same colored background later this week, both of which are good for masculine cards.  

I used my Memento Black ink and the Petal Palette stamp set to add some images to the Glossy card stock and then used the Milestone Moments stamp set for the sentiment.  I have found that I like to use the tear and tape adhesive to attach the altered  card stock to the layer beneath it because it rolls up on the corners just a little and this adhesive will hold it down quite well.

Supplies:

Milestone Moments, Petal Palette

Memento Black ink

Brusho Crystals

Glossy White card stock

Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black card stock

You've Got This

It is that time of year again when we say good bye to some products and anticipate some awesome new ones coming out June 1st!  You can see what will be retiring here.  There will be a color renovation as well so make sure to check out which colors will be leaving us!

I have some more Brusho Crystals cards to share with you in the next week or two.  When I play with it, I tend to do several sheets of glossy paper at once so I can make lots of cards so you may see the same colors in backgrounds on more than one sample.

I chose a simple setting for this one, using the flower from You've Got This and some basic rhinestones for accents.

Supplies:

You've Got This

Memento Black ink

Whisper White, Sweet Sugarplum card stock

Basic rhinestones

Brusho Crystals

Glossy White card stock

Strength and Prayers

This is the final hotel assembled card!  I used more the of the Brusho altered glossy card stock and added an image from the retired Strength and Prayers stamp set to it with Memento Black ink.

My sentiments are from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set and because I had a little bit of smearing on the card base from the Brusho crystal papers, I added some sponging in Night of Navy and Pear Pizzazz to cover it up.

Supplies:

Strength and Prayers, Flourishing Phrases

Memento Black, Night of Navy, Pear Pizzazz ink

Night of Navy, Whisper White, Glossy White card stock

Brusho Crystals

Everyday Label punch

sponges

Brusho Birthday

A little over a week ago I knew there was a good possibility I was going to be stranded in a hotel room for a few days due to a storm that was going to hit during the time that my son was competing in a state math competition.  Of course I decided to put together some things so that I could create a few cards if that happened!

I had played around with the Brusho crystals again and had a few pages of altered Glossy card stock ready to cut up and use so I cut all my pieces and stamped all the images and sentiments for a few different card layouts.  This is one of the cards and I will share the rest with you in the next few days.  

I left the punching, hand cutting and assembly to do in the hotel.

Supplies:

Flourishing Phrases, Special Celebrations

Memento Black ink, Berry Burst ink

Peekaboo Peach, Berry Burst, Whisper White, Glossy White card stock

Brusho crystals

Decorative label punch

Paper Pumpkin kit leftovers

Brusho Butterfly Basics

For this card, I used some Brusho Crystals and water on watercolor paper and added an image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set in Memento Black ink after it was dry.  I think the background colors got a little too dark for this image so I will have to try something different on the leftover pieces.  

I also added some Shimmer ribbon (SAB 2018) for a little accent and left off any sentiments for now.  

Supplies:

Butterfly Basics

Memento Black ink

Whisper White, Bermuda Bay card stock

Watercolor paper

Brusho Crystals

Shimmer ribbon pack (SAB 2018)

Musical Brusho

Here is another example of my Brusho Crystals experiment...When I played around with it, I did several different pieces using different color combinations.  After the watercolor paper dried thoroughly, I stamped the Sheet Music background stamp over the top of it with Soft Suede ink.

Then, I stamped the guitar from the Epic Celebrations (SAB 2018) set on some Wood Textures designer series paper and cut it out with my paper snips and layered my cards.

Supplies:

Epic Celebration (SAB 2018), Sheet Music

Memento Black ink, Soft Suede, Dapper Denim ink

Brusho Crystals

Old Olive, Dapper Denim card stock

watercolor paper

Brusho Crystals and Lovely As a Tree

A few days ago I played around with the Brusho Crystal Colour kit trying some combinations on both Glossy White and watercolor card stock.  The card below uses Glossy paper and water to blend in the colors - I think next time I used the Glossy paper I will try alcohol instead of water...

I like the background but have seen some amazing examples others have created (lots of practice ahead of me!) so I plan to keep trying it out.

Supplies:

Lovely As a Tree

Memento Black ink

Glossy White card stock

Night of Navy, Basic Black and Real Red card stock
