Hi Everybody,You may rememberer me showing you some Brusho Crystals that I bought at the craft show last weekend ... well here is a card that I have made using them
They are very vibrant colors and a little goes a long way so use them very sparingly.
For this card I stamped and embossed in gold the Sketchy Rose from Altenew onto some watercolor card
Then with a wet paintbrush and some clean water I have dampened the flower staying within the lines
Then with the red, orange and yellow crystals I have sprinkled on tiny amounts. I evened out the color with my brush and allowed it to dry.
Once dry I have cut it out with scissors staying close to the embossed edge. I did the leaves in the same way using the green from the pack
For the background I have sprinkled a very tiny amount of crystals and then spritzed it with clean water. Trimmed it to size and layered it onto black card. The sentiment is stamped onto the dry background and then all the layers added to my base
The flower has been added with foam pads underneath to give it height and the enamel dots have been randomly added for an extra effect.
I will be playing with these Brusho Crystals some more and I will make a video to show you what I do.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Hi Christina,
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine adores her Brusho Crystals and I've got me heart set on getting some in the very near future. I've found a set of 12 online for quite a reasonable price so they've now gone to the top of my wish list...a new pair of specs comes first though, so I can see what I'm doing lol. I love the way the rose has come out, what a fantastic stamp! I'm looking forward to the video when you get a chance in your hectic schedule to make one for us. xx
Hi Christina,
ReplyDeleteThose Brusho Crystals sound great, love the vibrancy of the rose, great card.

Good Morning Christina :) A very Beautiful Color Rich card this morning! I love the sentiment as well. It reminds me "if the glass is half empty or is the glass half full" ~ all in one's own perspective. Looking forward to the video on this too! Thank you sooooooo much for sharing and for all you do for us. Enjoy a magnificent day! Big Hugs.
