Lots of lavendar meets brusho

I have a lot of brusho cards to share (don’t worry, I’ll spread them out!) and today’s uses them as paint. I wanted to use Lots of Lavendar and have the right kind of purple so I mixed one using the blue and red brushos. I got a colour I liked on the second attempt – the blue is very intense!

I first heat embossed the image in gold. I adore gold embossing; I’ve been a demo for almost 4 years and it is still as exciting, watching the dull powder turn into a gorgeous shiny gold. Then I used an aquapainter to paint my purple onto the flowers and bow. My mossy green brusho wasn’t quite right, so I blended a little yellow to get the shade that I wanted. You really can make just about any colour you like with these 5 pots.

The first version of this card had only a small border showing of the elegant eggplant card but when I finished my second flowers, I realised it would look much better cropped, with a gold foil mat and a deep border of elegant eggplant. It’s too easy to just automatically use your usual layers without thinking.

This set is only available as a freebie until the end of the month – you need a $50 order of product to be able to select it. Check out your wish list!

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.
