Hello there. Well if you remember my first brusho post from a few days ago you might remember that i said that i had put card on top of wet one and pulled off a print from it. This background is the other of those 2 pieces and is mirror image of the other.
This time I felt it looked more like a landscape and felt it was very ethereal so yes i did use a magical being. All the stamps used here are from Lavinia. The majority come from a qvc set and the other is the hanging vine.
I used archival inks for stamping; black, plum, cobalt. I went over the pixie's wings with versamark and embossed with stardust from stampendous.
I then added white opal liquid pearls around some areas and sprinkled with glitter.
I matted on complimentary colours.
finished card is 6x6.
I do hope you have recovered from the shock of seeing a pixie on my blog and that you like my latest creation, Theresa xx
I would like to enter the card in the following challenges:
Lavinia challenge - add some glitter
Simon says stamp Wednesday challenge - make it sparkle
Beautiful ... and intriguing! - I've not heard of "brushos" - can you post an explanation of how you go that lovely background?
ReplyDeletebasically wet watercolour paper sprinkle brushos on top (tiny bits) and sprinkle with water again. then they spread. I used purple, turquoise, yellow and light brown here and tried to distribute them in a landscape format. spritz water from about a foot awayto have more control on spread. otherwise they just merge and become muddy. hope this helps xx
DeleteGorgeous Theresa, they do give a fab background and I love what you have done with this one xx
