Beautiful Day Butterfly Thank You Card with Brusho Crystal
Welcome to Mitosu Crafts and thank you for stopping by. It’s Jay here with a couple of watercolour Thank You cards using Brusho Crystal and the butterfly from Beautiful Day stamp set
We’ve had a box of Brushos for sometime now but haven’t used them for a while, it’s great that Stampin’ Up! have included them in the new 2018 Spring / Summer Occasions Catalogue!
The Brusho Crystal Colour is great for creating easy, quick and fun backgrounds. It is random but can produce different effects from light washes to intense colours depending on how you apply water or how much
I used the emboss resist technique for the butterfly using Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and Heat Tool on shimmery card
I applied the crystals lightly and added a lot of water with the Stampin’ Spritzer to achieve the light background
Once dried, I used the crystal pigments with Aqua Painters. A few drops of water were mixed to paint on the butterfly and add contrast against the background
To prevent cards from curling when using with a lot of water, you can tape it down on a craft sheet or board. I did not do this for my projects but instead I put them under a box overnight and luckily were ok
I wanted to keep the card fairly simple and adding the sentiment from Floral Phrases was just right to finish the cards
For more card inspirations check out the Design Team’s projects on the challenge blogs I am entering these cards to:
