This card started out so different in my mind. It was going to have bright yellow flowers and little roses and some vines, but it took at turn when my first flower didn't come out like I wanted it to. It actually took about 10 turns when my Brushos decided to jump all over the place.
I have to tell you that I saw Nancy L. playing with Brushos and had to get some. I am addicted! Each time I play with them, something totally different and unexpected happens. The colors are so vivid too. Fun stuff.

Note: Brushos are watercolor ink crystals. They react with liquid to make cool designs depending on what medium, what spread style you use, and how much you use. Really not a good explanation but you can find out a lot about them by searching SCS using the search word "Brushos" or going to YouTube. You can buy them lots of places but I got my sampler pack from Amazon.

I've never heard of brushos. I'm going to have to go to UT to check this out. However you arrived at what you photographed is sheer artistry. I love your card.
