Dandelion Wishes with Brusho in Navy

Hello!
For todays make I played with my Brusho Ink Crystals on watercolour paper teamed with Dandelion Wishes which I heat embossed in silver...

I really love the intensity of colour you get using these crystals and I wanted to make a wash effect background. To create this I started by adding water to the paper, adding the crystals then using my aqua painter I brushed over the area to make a solid colour.
TIP: The tiny Brusho crystals go everywhere! Make sure you have grid paper (or scratch paper) underneath where you are working and I make sure to throw the sheet away as soon as I've finished with the colour I'm using and wipe the area down so it doesn't transfer onto my next project.

I used a couple of off cuts from the Twinkle, Twinkle DSP under the silver dandelions and as a tab at the top too.

Finish with a few sequins and some silver thread.

This card is so me! I love navy and watercolour washes and heat embossing and sequins... Well, you get the idea ;-)
Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed today's card too and I'll be back tomorrow with more.
'Till then, happy stamping!

Heart Happiness meets Brusho in Navy and Gold

Hello and welcome to another challenge with Inspire. Create. and this week (#14) it's a sketch to work from! My favourite, in fact I actually made two cards for this challenge, (I'll share the other one here tomorrow ;-)) So, let's start with the sketch...

 Hopefully you can see the sketch in my card but I have taken it as an interpretation rather than too literally ;-)

 I started with watercolour paper and brusho adding water, powder, drying, then repeating with adding more water and powder then drying again until I was happy with the end result. Then when it was completely dry I used an embossing buddy (very important) before I stamped and heat embossed with the mini hearts from Heart Happiness.

 I layered three crumb cake die cut "love" before adding a gold foil one to the top, I think it looks almost molten... Underpinning with gold thread to tie in the gold.

 I tore the crumb cake card and embossed it with the scattered hearts folder (I just realised this folder is retired, so sorry) you could try the sequin or softly falling folder instead, sponge with matching ink and adhere so the blue inked area peeks out from behind.
TIP: Run the blue watercoloured pieces through a navy ink pad (or use a marker) before adhering so the white edges don't show.

So, I do hope you enjoyed today's card? I know the rest of the DT will have a whole heap of inspiration for you and there's also a surprise! Do hop over to the ICC blog to see, HERE
Thanks for looking today :-)
