We are heading to the Occasions Catalogue this week, pages 22-27 Petal Passion
I headed to page 27, and the picture on the left hand side, using Brusho and the Heat Embossed Resist technique - an old favourite of mine.
I opted to use Shimmery White cardstock as my canvas for the Brusho as it is similar to water colour paper and a little more forgiving when background colouring and using a lot of water, doesn't warp the same as normal cardstock. I used the vintage truck image from Country Livin', and initially used Clear Embossing powder but it didn't give me a sharp enough image, so I changed it for White Embossing powder and was much happier. I simply spritzed the card after embossing, and tapped Prussian Blue to the top area, Brilliant Red over the truck and Moss Green towards the bottom, then spritzed a little more to the areas which were still dry. If it is a very hit and miss colouring method - you could never get the same image twice, which is what I love about this - each card is certainly unique! I tipped the card back and forth a bit, added more water if required and poked at the colour with my aqua brush, but in a very minimal way. I resisted the urge to speed the process up and as the colours dried I just tipped back and forth to get an even distribution. The base is thick Whisper White cardstock with a 1" strip of Color Theory DSP adhered to the bottom. My image has been raised on dimensionals. Whisper White Baker's Twine tied around the spine and a greeting from Dragonfly Dreams white embossed on Old Olive cardstock adhered slighly off the edge as in the case. A few copper sequins to finish.
This close up shows how the shimmery white cardstock really shines, even after colouring.
