Happy Saturday!
The sun is shining and my part of the world is beginning to come alive with colour....finally.
Today's card is inspired by the challenge at Splitcoast from a Pinterest board called Timbres-Postage Stamps. Wonderful array of beautiful postage stamps to be inspired by.
These are the ones that inspired my card:
Anyone who visits my blog knows that I am having such a fun time playing with Bister and now Brushos. They are both a crystalized paint medium that you sprinkle onto your cardstock and spray with water. They are so easy to use and I just love the explosion of colour created when you add the water. Unique and different every time.
I created this piece by sprinkling green and blue Brushos onto my 90lb. watercolour paper then sprayed with water. I stamped the flower garden from Memory Box on one area of the painted background with Stazon black ink and cut it out. I mounted that onto a piece of black cardstock and was ready to pop dot it onto my card front but thought it looked sort of lost on it's own. Since I still had the rest of the painted paper left, I added it behind the image for another pop of colour.

Where can Bisters be purchased? I absolutely afore your card work!
I absolutely love this. I hope I can find more time to get inky again soon. You are really mastering the use of those Brushos as well.
Beautiful, Karen! I love the pop of the white flowers in the front too. Such depth on this card!
I'm glad you added the rest of the paper around the flowers, Karen. It really makes the stamped panel stand out. I love that the color shows through the tiny flowers. So fabulous!
This is gorgeous, I love the blue/yellow/green combo with the black. Such a lovely effect, I've only used my brushos once, really must have another play with them when I feel like getting in a mess! lol Thanks for sharing at ATSM this week, Anita x
Oh, Karen, what a beautiful burst of color!! I love it and how you've really made such gorgeous cards! Love your inspiration card using the stamp - it's perfect! And I'm so glad it's starting to feel like spring there!! Hugs, sweet friend!
Silhouette looks stunning with that gorgeous background
Love it! I adore my Brusho's and have such fun with them, you never know what you're going to get. And the messier and inkier the better!
Love the Brusho background and the sharp contrast with the black stamping.
Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM. :)
Absolutely gorgeous Karen!! Love the blues and greens, such a striking contrast with the black! Stunning! hugs :)
WOW!! So colorful and gorgeous!! I really love how the black makes this really pop! Thanks for sharing your creation with us at Addicted to Stamps & More! Hugs & Smiles - *Vicki*-DT member
Karen, This is gorgeous, I love the blue,yellow and green combination with the black! Super job as always and we appreciate you playing along and using the Topping option at STB!
This is very nice, I love that the colors are random and not like each flower colored in. It makes it more like a field of wild flowers would be!
Love the fabulous background, perfect for the floral stamp you used.
Thank you for joining us at Simon says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
