Another Brusho Disaster Saved


One thing I love about B/Bor CB (Brusho/Bister or Color Burst) pieces of art is even if they seem to be a disaster, they can usually be saved or re-purposed and the result is still a lovely card. I had this idea a while back to stamp floral watercolor stamps with water and distress markers and then do a Brusho background around them. The flowers were overwhelmed by the Brusho background (see the purple flowers and greens?) So I overstamped the Penny Black flowers with black ink and I liked it much better. I cut the floral piece into tiles and attached them to a white cardbase. Then I die cut a pretty border (Dee's Distinctively) and added some pearls at each intersection. I ended up loving the result.

I am entering this card in the Anything Goes challenge at Scribble and Scrap and Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.

    I love this Karen - Had come to comment on your POTW, but this one really stuck out - gorgeous and very creative way to "fix" it.

    All your Brusho cards are beautiful! I have played with these yet. Have to play with my watercolors and Gelato's a bit before I buy something new, unless of course you keep posting such amazing cards!! So inspirational!
