My first encounter with Brushos!!

Well this isn't one of my best, but it's certainly not the worst,

and I have to say that I am sort of pleased with the effect I have created -

and as I say in the title, this is my very first experience of using this product.

I think I may have been a bit heavy handed with the amount of crystals I used,

but I think that on the whole it's not too bad an attempt!!

I stamped the image from the Birthday Blooms stamp set 

in Versamark and heat embossed with White embossing powder,

onto watercolour paper.  Then I wet the various sections of the flower in turn, and sprinkled

the Brusho crystals on top, and used an aqua painter to spread the colour around.  

The bit where I could have done better is the very deep blue background, 

which I think is too dark -  a lighter one might have looked nicer.

That said, I love the speckles of Wink of Stella which I flicked onto the finished card.

I think that you can just see these.

My last words on this has to be - well I really enjoyed doing this!!

PS: call back tomorrow and see Jean's first attempt at Brushos -

hers is far better than mine!!
