One of my lovely ladies wasn’t sure if she would get enough use out of Brusho and asked if we could use it in a class … of course, we could!
At our last class we experimented with Brusho … we used 10 different techniques to apply Brusho, creating truly unique results and a collection of samplers to use for future reference.
Then we went on to make a couple of cards using my favourite technique – DIRECT TO STAMP.
For this technique, you simply sprinkle the Brusho crystals directly onto a stamp and spritz with water and then stamp the image onto Shimmery White cardstock or watercolour paper [we used the Shimmery White].
Every image is unique and you can also stamp off to create less intense colour.
Here are some of the cards I made as display cards for the class … we used the Bubble Over photopolymer stamp set and the Rooted in Nature stamp set. [A word of warning – the Brusho crystals will discolour the stamp but does not effect its future use from my experience.]
I really liked the way the Bubble Over card turned out – a great masculine card.
At the end of the class, the lady I mentioned at the beginning ordered the Brusho. I look forward to seeing what she creates.
I have also just started experimenting with the Bokeh and Dandelion Wishes stamp sets, Brusho and Black Embossing Powder. This has some potential.
My first project using Brusho was for On Stage Local in Sydney this year. I teamed it up with the Sea of Textures stamp set to produce a decor item. I had been experimenting and produced a number of samples that looked to me like waves … please excuse the terrible reflection in the photograph.
If haven’t already started experimenting and using Brusho in your stamping and paper craft adventures, it is well worth trying it.
