brusho roses

 The lovely flower stamps from Chocolate Baroque on last month's tv shows were perfect to use with my favourite brusho powders - promise my next post doesn't have brusho in it!
The first card uses the rose panel stamp, from the rose and thistle set, simply stamped with versafine black ink and clear embossed onto a piece of papwer coloured with brusho powders. Trimmed to leave a border around the stamp, then matted onto first white card and then black card before mounting onto a white card blank.

 The other cards were done the other way around, stamping and embossing first onto white card, then colouring with the brusho powders.
For this one I used grey and yellow powders - i had a sympathy card in mind, but it would also be suitable for a man. The stamp is the large rose from the rose  set, which was used for both cards.

This one was coloured with red, yellow and turquoise powders - the turquoise got a bit too far up on the top left, and I ended up with a rather strange coloured  rosebud! Once dry, it was trimmed right down to just the rose, then cut into four pieces, which were glued onto black card.
The stamp was stamped without reinking  onto the outside edge of the square card blank to make a faint background (my ink pad had been reinked recently, so was quite juicy so the ink had stayed fairly wet on the stamp)
