My present from my Mum was a set of 12 colours of Brushos, something I've never used before. (Incidentally, why are they called Brushos when so many ways of using them don't require a brush? ) and I've been having fun experimenting with them.
My first card was made with one of my very first attempts - I used far too much of both the crystals and the water, and thought the finished result might hit the reject pile, but then I decided that as a bold background for some lighter coloured stamping it might actually be very effective.
I stamped the patterned heat over the background in white and then embossed it with a translucent pearl powder. The stamp is a very old unmounted one that I received in a RAK about 20 years ago! Then I topped it with a beautiful pair of die cut hearts, made with my very newest die, the Gummiapan Double Hearts die from Swedish House Crafts - I've added the link as they are a very new site that you may not have come across and they have some exciting dies at bargain prices. The sentiment is from my favourite magazine freebie set from a couple of years ago.
I would like to share this with

I was going to share a second card in this post, but you're probably already getting RSI from scrolling so I'll put it in a separate post.

Lovely card, Jane! Brusho backgrounds are fun to make, aren't they? I think this turned out really well and looks good with the white stamped hearts and the bold red ones on top. Thank you for joining our January challenge at Rubber Dance ♥
