Good Morning.
Had some time to play this A.M. and the sketch challenge at Splitcoast got my creative juices flowing.
A quick, collage-style card. Haven't done one of those for such a long time.
I began by picking up my smallest acrylic block and sprinkled Brusho directly onto my block, sprayed with water then pressed onto my paper. I like the watery impression it left behind.
The background stamp is a long, narrow stamp from Kaisercraft that I just partially inked up and stamped over the Brusho area.
Lastly, I stamped the sentiment that I just got. It is by Tim Holtz.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
The Male Room- SPOTS and STRIPES
(a loose interpretation of the theme-small stripes in bkg and spots)
Addicted to Stamps- CLEAN and SIMPLE
Craft Stamper- TAKE A STAMP/ANYTHING GOES
Craft Your Passion- ANYTHING GOES
The Crazy Challenge- MONOCHROMATIC
Thanks so very much for coming by to take a look.
Supplies: stamps- Kaisercraft, Tim Holtz/ Brusho/ acrylic block/ mini mister/ Memento bl ink

Gorgeous cards Karen. Sorry I am only catching up now - I haven't had time to blog as my husband has been ill.
Awesome card and love the collage element and sentiment.
I LOVE every single detail Karen. TFS your description. Your card is surely a winner! TFS my friend.
Ooh, I love how you played with your Brushos, Karen! Such a fabulous collage and sentiment, too! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at ATSM!
What a great card! Love the CAS about it but it really pops as well!!
Love the card Karen and you can be another tip about using Brushos. I have to admit I did begin playing with them but boy did they make my fingers messy/dirty. Thanks for the info.
This is a really cool card! I've heard Brushos really stain so I'm wondering how they fared on your acrylic block. Not that a stained block is bad... you could probably find it easier in a mess than a clear one!
Gorgeous art work. Happy Friday!
Love and hugs
