Thanks

Hi there...are all you northern hemisphere dwellers enjoying some cooler fall weather? I am loving the bite of fall in the air.

 Today's card is for the challenge over at Inspired by All the Little Things.

I love the browns with just a touch of color.  For my card the main panel is watercolor paper white embossed with some leaf shapes from A Muse Studio.  I spritzed the paper with water then sprinkled on some brown brusho's in the open area of the panel.  I tilted and spun the card to get coverage all over, but not within the leaves.   Lastly, I wet the leaves lightly, and sprinkle more of the brown brusho powder into the leaf areas, I did not brush them out or add more water. I wanted the intense colors of the power pigments showing all the different shades.



I mounted it onto some textured tissue paper on a card base and added the thanks die cut (I think its from SSS).

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wowzer--this is amazing, Cat! So artistic with the colors which I didn't think could be done with something like Brushos!

Hi Cat, I actually am enjoying the change in weather and the colors. I find myself reaching for the fall colors more and more as you have seen on my blog. This water color card is gorgeous. I have a few brusho colors, but nothing like this one, and I LOVE the subtle look of the various hues and colors. Super pretty with the contrasting white. Hope your week is going well.

OH, Cat, this is simply beautiful. You achieved a gorgeous look with the Brushos. I love how the white pops against the pretty colors. Beautifully done!

Please send some of the cooler temperatures in my direction.
Have a lovely weekend.
