Brusho Background

I've been playing with my Brusho colours today.  In the past when I've used them, I've sprinkled the powder on first, then spritzed the card with water.  This time I decided to see what would happen if I spritzed the card first.

Tag Topper

My version

As yet, this is incomplete.  I am planning on using this on a card, but haven't yet decided where I'm going with it next - ideas welcome!  The background for the stamp was inspired by the Sunset tag design by Barbara Gray which came with #111 in the Clarity New Design Stamp Club.

Cricut Football Card

This card is a clean and simple card; good for using up scraps and the colours can be adapted to fit the team supported by the recipient.

Messy Layered Background: The Finished Card

I used the messy layered background to create a men's card; suitable for a birthday.

Messy Layers Background: Part 2

Having created the basic background yesterday using distress inks, paints and a stencil, today I added stamped elements to the background to provide texture and further depth.

The starting point for today's layers.

A Layered Messy Background

I haven't finished this background yet; it will form the base of a man's birthday card and has stamping and embossing to add to it yet.  I did want to share the process that I go through when designing a card and I really have no idea how it's going to end up yet!

Button Topper

This is another card which was inspired by a design in the first Creative Expressions Project Book.  It's another card suitable for both men or women depending on the colour scheme and toppers used.
