This card is cut from 140# Arches Hot Press Watercolour paper using my Silhouette butterfly edge card available on the Silhouette Online Store . My original plan was to use watercolour just over the butterflies, but to do a decent job of it seemed beyond my ability that particular day. My Dad used is say there was nothing that couldn't be fixed. Well, in this case I would agree! Being in a need of some retail therapy, I recently ordered the set of 24 colours of Brushos* (from Amazon, if you're interested) and here was an opportunity to test drive them. Brushos are powdered dyes (I assume) that are brilliantly coloured. You can simply wet down a surface, sprinkle different colours onto the wet surface and the final look is a lot like a watercolour wet in wet technique. The only problem is knowing when to stop!
Okay, that's it. Let it dry.
So, in case you missed it.... Step 1: Cut. Step 2: Colour
And away you go! You might stamp a sentiment on it, tie on a bow, add some bling. But for me, it's done!
Thanks for stopping in and having a look. Happy creating! Suzanne
*Ken Oliver has a similar product called Color Burst that comes in 6 colours.
