Hello and Welcome.
Playing with my Brushos to create this card. It is not only fun but you can achieve great results using them as they are so highly pigmented.
So onto my card details.
I placed my heavy white cardstock into my Misti and positioned this New York stamp over my paper.
Next, I sprinkled some Brushos onto my palette, diluted it with a bit of water and picked up the ink with a paintbrush. I painted it directly onto my stamp, adding different colours in various areas of my stamp. I pressed onto my paper and repeated that process for areas that didn't get enough of an inking.
I took a wet paintbrush with just water and painted over the image, blurring the look.
I painted in the sky with some diluted blue ink as well.
When it was nice and dry, I placed it back into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from PB.
I mounted it onto a piece of light blue cardstock then onto a heavy white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
