The F4A253 Challenge this week is "A CASE of Admiration" by Dawn. I have so many amazing SCS friends I would love to CASE. I am starting with a combined CASE of my good friends Loll Thompson and Susanbri. Loll's beauty Brushos and Butterfly and Susan's beauty Autumn. You will definitely see what I chose from each card for my inspiration. Thank you again girls for your friendship too :-)
My card is also for the Mix-Ability 100 Challenge by Dini "Hue, Tint, Shade". Perfect for my Brushos image.
How did I do my Brushos? I spritzed my 140# watercolor paper with lots of water and then sprinkled on all 3 colors of Brushos Crystals (more like a thicker powder) and watched pop of vibrant colors appear. I kept adding water and crystals until I got the saturated look I wanted. I did not dry between layers. Then let my piece air dry instead of using my heat tool. I loved the results. After completely dry I stamped the script in Memento black ink and the leaves in SU Garden Green ink.
I stamped my sentiment at the bottom of a W W piece and attached to the entire back of the main image. Then I popped up with dimensionals.
I LOVE the results. Sure hope I get to CASE more of my amazingly talented SCS friends.
Important Tip on Brushos: Do NOT open pot, but use your paper piercer to punch hole in top of lid so you can shake on crystals. You need very little crystals for your colors.
