Lavinia Stamps and Brusho Paints.

Hi ho, me again with another card made with Brusho Paints to share with you.
I love these little pots of powder crystals.Oyster Stamps have all the colours! 
A couple of circle dies, tiny amounts of Brusho Paints in various colours, mixed with water onto a white ceramic tile or Splodge Mat. Be sure you keep all the colours apart or they will go muddy. 
Swipe some water colour card through the colours to pick up the paint.



Dry with a heat gun then add more colours, in layers, over the top. 
The image called Zen Leaf 2 is from Lavinia Stamps and was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black ink. After drying the image with a heat gun I 'lifted' some of the paint using bleach to make the image pop . 


Please note that the Lavinia Stamps on-line store is closed until 25th August... they are offering a 10% discount on their stamps because you may have to wait a while for your order to arrive.. GET IN!
Have a good week. 
Thank you for popping over to look at my Blog.
