Heartfelt Blooms-Sale a Bration Week

Welcome to Sale a Bration week. Today I am featuring the stamp called Heartfelt Blooms. It is a single stamp that doesn't look like much until you stamp it and then WOW. All sorts of wonderful flower images emerge. Some tips...

1. I stamp detailed stamps like this upside down so I can see if I have inked the entire stamp.

2. Make sure you have a Stampin' Pierce mat underneath your stamp to get the full image.

3. Place a piece of scrap paper on top of the mat to make sure no ink gets on it.

If you follow these steps you should not have any trouble getting a wonderful image.

This next card was also simple.

1. Stamp the image on your card stock.

2. Cut the image into 3-4 sections. I cut mine apart 1".

3. Attach to your base card leaving a tiny space between each section.

Card three was a fun way to highlight one part of the stamp.

1. After cutting out your card base, cut a layered piece of white card stock and stamp your image to the left hand side of the paper.

2. Cut a contrasting color the same size as the white card stock. Emboss if you wish and punch a large circle on the left hand side of this card stock.

3. When you layer the two pieces one on top of the other you now have a spotlight.

This card features the stamp set using 2 colors. I tried each time I stamped to feature a different part of the stamp. You do need to re-ink it each time or you can get a line on your stamped image where part of the ink was removed.

Today's final stamp using Heartfelt Blooms uses one color and the flowers stamped all around the edges of the card stock to create a delightful border.

What do you have to do to make this stamp your own?

1. Place an order of $50 and this can be your free item.

2. Sale a Bration the one time of the year you do not need to host a party to get free items, is still going on through the month of March.

Tomorrow I will feature another Sale a Bration stamp set called Lots of Lavender. See the different ways that you can use that stamp set.

Brusho Week Miscellaneous Monday-Brusho with Heartfelt Blooms

Have you heard of Brusho? If so, have you tried working with it yet? I had a great time playing with and learning some different techniques to show it off.

I am going to try something new this week. If you leave a comment on my blog, I will contact you and send you one of the cards of the week. I love getting feedback from all of you and thought this might be a fun idea to encourage feedback.

Today's technique has just a couple of steps to create the great background on this card.

1. Use Watercolor paper and coat the paper with water using an aqua painter or a paint brush .

2, Sprinkle the Brusho on the wet paper and watch it spread. Stampin'Up! has just 5 colors of Brusho and I used Gamboge, an orange color, and yellow for the back ground.

3. If you need to you can add more water to help the color spread even more.

4. Let the card stock dry by setting it aside for a while, or by using a heat tool to spread up the process.

5. I finished the card by stamping the Beautiful Day stamp on an extra piece of paper and coloring some areas with the water color pencils.

I loved watching the powder spread as it hit the water. Kind of like watching fireworks as they spread across the sky.

CAUTION If you look at the container it looks like you should be able to just open the lid to get at the powder. If you do this then you will have powder every where. Instead, poke 2-3 holes in the lid and just tap the powder onto your project. I stick a small piece of painter's tape on the top to cover the holes to keep more powder from escaping.

Do you want to try and duplicate this card for yourself? Then click on the links below and you will be directed to my store.

Tomorrow, I will share a second technique in using Brusho. This will be the reverse of how I made today's card. Come back and see what that looks like.
