BRUSHO'S BLOOM!

Hi there,

Things have been a little hectic around here for the last month, so I've barely been able to keep up with my stamping "duties". The end of the school year always does that to me and this year although I've not got proms or graduations for any of my kids, there is plenty volunteering activities to take care of. Today's card was put together for my Sister-in-Law using the Memory Box Grand Happy Birthday die, a couple of  Brushos, two embossing powders and a Sparkle N Soft from Sparkle N Sprinkle.


I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Super Adhesive Sheet. I removed the protective backing and covered the entire piece with Sun Dazzle Sparkle N Soft. Next I ran it through the Darice Daisy and Swirl embossing folder, which had been inked on the inside with Memento Lady Bug ink. There is a detailed tutorial on how to make these flocked backgrounds here.


Next I cut out the Happy Birthday die from white cardstock, covered it in Versamark ink and heat embossed the entire piece with Firecracker Red.

Dandy Dandelion and Firecracker Red embossing powders were used to bling up the silver brads. 


The flower was three Prima flowers layered on top of each other, after I had spritzed them with water and shaken the Brusho Crystals on them. Another spray of water and then they were dried with the heat tool, to compliment the colors of the card.


The card front was put together using the brads to hold everything in place. It was then layered to a piece of white cardstock edged with Versamark and heat embossed with the Firecracker Red. It was this was then layered to a cream card base. 


I'd like to enter this card in the Scrapy Land: Challenge 19 - Use a die cut that Scrapy Land carries.

Hope you've enjoyed my quick share with you today. 

Till next time,

Shona

  7. Super SPLENDID! Love the brusho- treatment on the bold flower. Brilliant you to think of that...it is an eyecatcher. Love all the glitz & sparkle, and that glittered, embossed and inked background is just gorgeous with the burst of the red border sentiment. Well DONE! TFS & Hugs
