Hello everyone, Jodie is back with another project for your inspiration, using Brushos to create a bright, bold background.

Good morning everyone, this is my second project for Chocolate Baroque. This time I wanted to try Brusho Crystal Colours with Stamping. The results came out better even than I expected.

Supplies:
Stamps- Loving Sentiments, Exquisite Edges
Colour- Brusho Crystal Colour (Set of 24, Yellow & Brilliant Red)
Inks- Versafine Onyx Black inkpad, Versamark
White embossing powder
Paper-A4 white cardstock, watercolour paper, red cardstock
Water spritzer bottles- pack of 2
Double sided foam tape
Heat Tool
Sequins
Die cut

Cut the watercolour paper to 4" x 5 1/4" (10.16cm x 13.34cm)
Using Versamark, ink up the stamp from Exquisite Edges and stamp onto watercolour paper.
Sprinkle white embossing powder, tap off excess and heat set.
Repeat above two steps on other side of watercolour paper.
If using your Brusho colours for the first time, take a thumb tack and pierce a hole in the top. I cannot stress enough that a little goes a long way.
Sprinkle a tiny bit of both Yellow & Brilliant Red onto the watercolour paper.
Next spritz the paper using the water spritzer bottle and watch the crystals explode with colour.
At this point, you can either add more crystals to deepen the colour, or add more water to get more blending, slightly diluting the colour's intensity.
Where you've embossed, this will act as a resist, really popping out the stamp's design.
Once happy with the result, simply dry the paper using your heat tool.
Next, cut the red cardstock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (13.97cm x 21.59cm) and fold in half.
Layer your background onto your card base.
Stamp the saying onto the white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink, and cut out the saying using a die cut.
Attach the saying to the front using foam tape, then adhere the sequins for a bit of added sparkle!

Don't forget to swing by my blog, where I have a few more samples of Brusho Crystals using stencils and embossing folders!

Jodie will be back next week with another dose of inspiration. Thanks Jodie!
