Delightful

 Meet today's card.
I'm calling it 'Delightful' because it came together so quick and easily. 
The challenge at Splitcoast today was from a site called 'I don't wear dresses'. 
When I saw this dress, I instantly thought of using my Brushos and was inspired to make this card.

I began by sprinkling black Brushos over my heavy weight cardstock.  I sprayed with water to activate the color crystals and watched the magic happen. 
When the piece was dry, I folded it back and forth onto itself to resemble the folds in the dress.
I die cut the flowers from Tim Holtz Wildflowers then cut the frame using dies from Memory Box.
I mounted it all and done.
Gotta love when a card inspiration comes to you right away!

    Your brushos background is gorgeous. So creative and fun to create the "folds of the dress" for this card. It's looks awesome with those creases. You are so inspiring my friend! xx

    You could not have matched your inspiration any more perfectly than this! Fabulous brusho background using black and love the stark contrast of the white die cuts against the dark background.
