Beautiful Day and Brusho

This is my first try at using the Brusho Crystals and I LOVE them, but you do need to add in a bit of drying time for the Best effect.  I blotted mine with paper towels and lost some of the depth, but the results are so easy to achieve.....here is what I did.....

First emboss the Butterfly image with White embossing powder on Watercolor paper.  I did not cut my paper down to card front size until I was finished with the Brusho.  Sprinkle the crystals on your image.  DO NOT open the crystals, they will poof and be everywhere and if they contact water they will bleed, so use a push pin and 1 hole, then use the push pin to seal the Brusho so it will not spill.

Shake the container like a salt Shaker and Spritz with water, more water makes the color pool and run.

The color will "resist" on the embossed lines.  Less water gives a more intense look, but make sure all the crystals dissolve or they can transfer to clothes or other projects!

I blotted mine so I could add the sentiment and finish the card.  But next time I will make several at a time and let them dry naturally for more vibrant color.  You can let them dry and then add more color at a later time.  I popped the entire card front up on Calypso Coral and added some pearls.  The sentiment was stamped in Momento Black.


Here is the Stampin' Up video with more tips using Brusho by adding water to your paper first for a more saturated background.
