Water Droplets and Another Brusho Technique

I am loving my new water droplets stamp from Designs by Ryn and trying new techniques using Brusho Crystal Colors (or Bisters or Color Burst.) I watched this video and decided to try blowing the colors across the page. I have heard you can get similar results blowing through a straw, but I used Tim Holtz's Distress Marker Spritzer as was shown in the video and was pleased with the fun background it creates. Basically to do this look, create a puddle of water and mix in the color crystals, then blow the liquid and the colored water creates the lines shown. Then I stamped with Ryn's beautiful leaves and water droplets and layered on to a navy blue card base.

I tried it again with different shades of blue Brushos, then stamped first and second generations of the water droplets. I stamped a fish from Repeat Impressions onto a glossy Brusho piece and cut it out. The sentiment stamp is also from Repeat Impressions.

I am entering these cards in the Make Your Own Background at Simon Says Stamp and the April challenge at Designs by Ryn.
