Beautiful Day

This is another Beautiful Day card that I made but this time using spray starch and saran wrap to try another technique using the Brusho Crystals Colors.  Here are the instructions on how I made this card.



Stamp Set:  Beautiful Day #145912 {w} and #145915 {c}
Cardstock:  Night of Navy #100867, Tranquil Tide #144246, Shimmery White #101910, Naturally Eclectic DSP #144185
Ink:  Versamark #102283, Archival Basic Black #140931, Brusho Crystals Colors #144101, White Embossing Powder #109132
Other:  Big Shot #143263, Heat Tool #129053, Lots of Labels Framelits #138281, Paper Snips #103579, Dimensionals #104430, Starch, Saran Wrap,

1.     The base of the card is Night of Navy cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Tranquil Tide cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the front of the card with Multipurpose Glue. 
3.    Ink up the butterfly with Versamark ink and stamp onto 4” x 5-1/4” of Shimmery White cardstock.  Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the butterfly.  Shake off excess and heat set with the Heat Tool.
4.    Now, sprinkle the Prussia Blue and Yellow Brusho Crystal Colors onto the butterfly.  Now take a can of starch and spray onto the crystals.  Put Saran Wrap over the entire butterfly and mix with your hands.  Remove the wrap and let dry.  (Tip:  I think I’d emboss the butterfly after the Brusho dries next time.)  Also, depending on the amount of crystals you use, you may want to use different cardstocks to match but these are the colors (Night of Navy and Tranquil Tide) that matched mine
5.    In the meantime, die cut the Lots of Labels Framelits with Whisper White cardstock and the Naturally Eclectic DSP.
6.    Once the butterfly is dry, trim out with the Paper Snips and add Dimensionals to the back and attach to the Lots of Labels Framelits onto the card.
7.    Ink up the sentiment with Archival Basic Black and stamp below the butterfly on the Tranquil Tide cardstock.

Beautiful Day Butterfly

This is another card I made using the Brusho Crystals.  Although, the colors are not as vibrant as the cards I've made so far.  It's a different technique.  First I embossed the butterfly with Gold Embossing Powder and this time used Whisper White cardstock.  I used a palette to paint with the Aqua Painter, so my crystals were watered down but yet I didn't spritz the card with water.  I wanted to keep the colors inside the lines of the butterfly.  So here my instructions on how I made this card:





1.     The base of the card is Marina Mist cardstock cut 4-1/4” x 11 and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Pear Pizzazz cut at 4-1/4” x 5-1/4” and the third layer is Whisper White cut at 3-3/4” x 5”.
3.    Ink up the butterfly stamp with Versamark ink and stamp onto the Whisper White cardstock towards the top.  Sprinkle with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set with Heat Tool.
4.    Sprinkle Brusho Crystal in each section of the paint palette.  Add water from the Aqua Painter to each section.  Paint the butterfly sections as you wish with the Aqua Painter, cleaning it off between colors.  I used the Moss Green and Prussia Blue for my butterfly.
5.    For the sentiment, ink it up with Archival Basic Black and stamp onto scrap of Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  Use the Paper Snips to create a banner and attach to the bottom of the Whisper White cardstock.

Fall is in the air!  Yes, it is finally sweater weather here in Indiana.  It has been a hot summer, so it's nice to have cooler weather....
