Happy Sunday, hope you are having a good weekend. It’s been a crazy one around here. Yesterday I ran some errands, got a manicure and pedicure, prepared for my monthly Sunday Stampers and it snowed about 2″-3″. It’s hard to believe it was snowing last night when the sun shining, it’s 40 degrees and most of the snow has already melted.
My Sunday Stampers started the morning using the new Brusho Crystal Colours. These are watercolor ink crystals – sprinkle them directly on watercolor paper and watch the colors burst. There are many ways to use these Crystals, we did one card where we sprinkled the crystals and spritzed with water and we watched the colors explode after first embossing the butterfly from the Beautiful Day stamp set. The second card, we heat embossed the butterfly or flower from the same stamp set, using a clear block – sprinkled on some color crystals, added water and using an Aqua Painter colored in the image. The package of Brusho Crystals includes five pots of color: Brilliant Red, Gamboge (orange), Moss Green, Prussian Blue and Yellow. Each pot is .05 oz.
You might enjoy the Stampin’ Up! video on Brusho for more information.
Next is a card using the Barn Door Bundle (comes in both Wood and Clear Mount stamps). The Barn Door stamp set includes 8 stamps and matching Sliding Door Framelits Dies includes 15 dies to be used with your Big Shot. The Hardwood background stamp was stamped on the card base and Champagne Foil Sheets used for the hardware mechanism on the door. Stampin’ Write Markers were used to color the wreath before die cutting. To make the door slide, #6 washers from my local hardware store.
Here is the Stampin’ Up! video on how to create the “sliding door”.
The final card we made was using the Waterfront Photopolymer Stamp set. Create tranquil sceneries including lakes lined with trees, tropical islands or even snow covered forests. Ink colors used include Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Garden Green, Cajun Craze, So Saffron and Blushing Bride. Finishing touch is a Linen thread wrapped around three times and a bow.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by, hope you are inspired to try stamping.
