I don't have Brushos or any other watercolor powders, but I thought I'd experiment with Pearl Ex powders. I sprinkled the powder on the watercolor paper and spritzed it with water. It didn't spread out quite the way I imagine the watercolors probably do, but I helped it along a little by tilting the paper. After it dried I sprayed it with a fixative to keep it from smearing. It actually came out pretty nice, so I used it as the background for the sentiment, which I stamped in turquoise. I decided to highlight one of the sentiments - "Never Give Up" - by stamping it again on the ivory paper in the darker indigo color. I cut it out and snipped some tiny pieces of dimensionals to affix it over the original wording. I added a couple of floral images to the corners that were also hand cut. TFL!
