I was particularly happy with the way this Rose turned out using the red and yellow Brushos. The colours have gone together really well .
I didn't use water colour card but you can if that is what you have. I found that the ordinary 300 gsm card worked just as well.
I am glad that these videos have prompted some of you about the Brushos that you already have and are preparing to get them out and use them again for your flowers.
It is amazing how much stuff we buy and then put away in a cupboard and forget about it, and maybe go and buy more of a similar item.

Shop your own stash and use what you already have .... it is far more satisfying than buying more items that you will forget to make use of..
This is the other card in the video from yesterday and I think both cards are really pretty.
The only problem is I now have a kat of boxes to make !!
Bye for now ...

Good Morning Christina and all that visit today. Well we are home from holiday during which I had a nasty fall. I had to go to A And E yesterday .. Had an x-ray and I have broken my wrist in 4 places. So my arm is in plaster till I have to go back for some further treatment.
ReplyDeleteI have looked back on all your posts Christina and I am loving the flower making ones. I am lucky enough to own the curl up ones you have used in the video. So it's time to get them out again after a lovely reminder of what we have stashed away. Thankyou Christina.
Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone. Please stay safe and well 🙏.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
Ouch, it must be so painful for you. Hoping that you had some lovely days on holiday tho before this happened. Wishing speedy recovery Ann, take care xx
DeleteThankyou Maria. Yes we did have some lovely days Thankyo. But after the fall not so good. It really spoiled our holiday . I just wanted to be at home. But again I had a wonderful carer who looked after me. My Hubby. He was wonderful for the rest of the. Holiday.
DeleteThankyou Maria. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please take care🙏
The rose is beautiful on this card Christina. Look forward to the ribbon flowers. Thank you for your inspiration. Joyce x
ReplyDeleteI love how the roses turned out here on this very nice card.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see these older dies coming back. I'm hoping to do some crafting done today but got back from a mini break so am so tired today. All fun living with fibromyalgia. Have a good day x
I love your roses with the brushos, a beautiful design Christina. As for using what we have? I have just had a clear out before decorating my craft room, I have donated a mass of unused and will never be used stuff, and found a few things I had forgotten about and will use. It is surprising what was found. After painting out, I will certainly shop my stash. Thanks x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I'll have to check out the video, as I have some Brushos and have been using them recently too.
ReplyDeleteShopping our stash is certainly the way to go, so many hidden treasures. Love the card Christina, the white background certainly sets of the beautiful flower. I don't have Brushos, but my watercoloured pencil i am sure will do the same job. Thanks for the wonderful video. Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty, Christina!

I’ll e the idea of shopping your own starch. So true that we forget what we have.
ReplyDeleteLovely card
Have a great weekend
