Morning.
If any of you have seen the last card I posted, then you know that I have just recently started playing with Bister which is a crystal pigment paint. They come in little pots and are concentrated colour that give the most amazing results when water is added.
I began by cutting a piece of 100 lb. watercolour paper. There are different ways to apply the Bister to your paper. They look like coffee grounds and you need very little to achieve a burst of colours. I dip a dry paint brush into the pot and tap the paint over my paper. (Some videos show the others piercing a hole in the top of the small pots so they can sprinkle the paint on the paper.)
When I had enough paint on the paper, I sprayed with water and watched the colours emerge. I dried my paper using a heat gun to speed up the process but you can also let it air dry.
I stamped a script from Penny Black along the side for interest then the flowers with black Stazon ink. I highlighted the images by using a white Signo gel pen.
Lastly, I stamped the lovely sentiment to complete my card.

I'm so far behind looking and commenting, and I see I've missed a lot of wonderfulness on your blog, Karen. I was the blue on on Facebook but just went back and took a closer look. Fabulous! Then this on and the one before it using the Bisters. Love the backgrounds and silhouetted flowers. I'm singing up to follow you by email so I never miss another beautiful creation.

These Bisters sound interesting, but I think I'll just admire what you can do with them instead of trying them out myself. Your card is just stunning!
Karen, this is just gorgeous and something I have to try! Just beautiful and what a fabulous effect you achieved with Bisters!
Holy stunningness!! This is incredible! I had to pop over here from Seize the Birthday gallery because your card was so striking! I will definitely be hitting the follow button.
