Hi Stampers.

Welcome to the Pals March 2018 Blog Hop. Our theme this month is “Spring has Sprung”. The Stampin’ Pretty Pals will inspire you with Spring or Spring-related projects. You may see floral, Easter or other general Spring-inspired designs. You may be just starting or hopped over from another Pal. In either case you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

My card was made with the Beautiful Day stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  This card has a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Calypso Coral, scored at 4 1/4″. The flower and sentiment were stamped in Versamark ink onto a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of cardstock.  I then heat embossed those with black embossing powder.

To color the flower I used Brusho Crystal Colours.  I tapped a little of the Gamboge (orange) on one block, a little bit of Moss Green onto another block and Yellow onto a third block. To add a little water to each color, I used my Aqua Painter.  I mixed each color a little and then colored the flower.  After I was done I picked up a little of the color with the Aqua Painter and flicked a little bit of each color onto the card front for a speckled look.

On the inside of the card I used a 5 1/4″ x 4″ layer of Very Vanilla CS.  I stamped the flower in the corners in Memento Black ink and colored it with the Brusho Crystal Colours. I colored the flowers the same way as above, but used mostly yellow left the flower pretty we and added a tiny bit of orange crystals and dried it with the heat tool.  It’s just amazing to me how many different looks you can get with these Crystals.  They take a little practice, but they are very cool!

I’m actually teaching a local class on Brusho Crystal Colours tomorrow – so expect more Brusho cards to come!  Sign Up for my newsletter for exclusive deals just for my customer. 🙂
