heartful brusho

Two cards using the lovely heart full of love stamp set from Chocolate Baroque, and my favourite brushos. The heart was stamped in black versafine onto a brusho background and clear embossed.  The heart, leaves and small flowers were coloured using more brusho applied with a water brush. Once it was all dry, I bleached the colour out of  the larger flowers- it did take a couple of applications of bleach to get rid of all the colour.
Sentiment added in black, and a mat to match the heart to finish off.

Same technique for the second card, this time using the matching flower spray stamp and just bleaching the flowers out, before edging with a marker pen.

punky romance


Here are my ChocolateBaroque punky samples to start the month, mostly using my favourite brusho powders
This big stamp from punky romance was stamped with black versafine and clear embossed onto a piece of card already coloured with brusho powders,mostly using sandstone and a green.
I used more of the same colours to paint the image, with turquoise for the butterflies.
The sentiment came from punky expressions. I edged the card using a black marker pen before adding it to a square card blank
 These papier mache letters were found when looking for some boxes to decorate - I couldn't find the right boxes, but found these further along the shelf in the store........and thought I would have a play.
They were painted with white gesso first, then coloured with distress oxide inks . Some of the images were stamped in white directly onto the letters to make the background. Several other images from the set were stamped in black versafine onto white tissue paper,  torn out and added using modpodge.

These were the only boxes I had, they were quite small so i just decorated the lids.
The heart shaped one used a scrap of brushoed card, image stamped in black versafine , cut to shape and glued on. The oval one was triple embossed using a copper powder and the stamp pressed into the final layer while it was still hot.
