My First Color Burst Card

If you follow my blog, you know I discovered Bister powders last year and then Brusho Crystal Colours and now I am the proud owner of every color available of Color Burst by Ken Oliver. There are just six colors right now, but he is hinting of new colors maybe this summer. I found them to be very similar to Brushos- bright and colorful and easy to use to make gorgeous backgrounds like this one on my first CB card. I simply sprinkled the blue, yellow and green Color Burst onto a piece of watercolor paper and spritzed with water. I let it dry for a short while, then while still damp, I embossed with a new Fabric Weave embossing folder from Spellbinders for some great texture. Then I lightly applied teal ink to the embossed lines direct to paper. I layered the completed piece on a teal card and attached the "cherish" die cut (Tim Holtz for Sizzix) and the leafy sprig from Memory Box.

I am entering this card in the "Make Your Own Background" at Simon Says Stamp and the Anything Goes challenge at Creative Fingers.

    Another way cool technique is to sprinkle brushos on you stamps, spritz with a squirt of water then stamp. Use a water brush to blend it all together. Beautiful!
