So – if you saw the last video I posted – did you notice that the ‘scrap’ piece of paper I was working on was actually a half sheet of Shimmery White cardstock? Well – it makes a fabulous appearance again today. In fact I think the scrap from card 1 makes an even prettier card 2!
If you missed the first card – you will need to scroll back one post and go see how to create the background. As I made the pieces for my bouquet in the previous card and painted the brusho it left a wonderful reverse watercolor. I split the half sheet in two to make the background for these two cards.
The Petal Palette is available as a bundle with the stamp set and the dies – or during the rest of March you can get the dies FREE (nearly a $40 value) with a $50 purchase as a Sale-A-Bration selection.
I also used the Perfect Pairs embossing folder (or one of the pairs!) which is also a free selection this month as part of Sale-A-Bration.
Using this technique every card will be unique. As you color die pieces with Brusho – no need to use scrap paper, use pieces that you can keep for future background or even focal pieces. The Brusho is such a striking medium, you will love the results it gives.
I used it in a more traditional way to color in the bird. Here is the video – you can watch here or on my YouTube channel (Cheri’s Cards) for a better viewing experience:
The colors scream spring and summer, don’t they?! The card would be fitting for so many occasions – Weddings, Showers, Mother’s Day, Birthdays – the sayings in the stamp set work well with these too!
Remember – I am out of my office for the rest of the month – BUT my Luck of the Irish contest continues…someone may win a Stamparatrus in early April!
