Stampin’ Up Brusho Birthday Blooms

 

 

 

Birthday Blooms Stamp Set

 

 

 Flower Shop Stamp Set

 

Back again, with another beautiful Brusho background. I created this card, first using the easy brusho technique. Once it was dry I added the versamark and embossing powder. The greeting pairs nicely with the classic label punch and the white perfect accents give it a nice finish. I was inspired to create two cards from this design by changing up the flower. I love how the gamboge is softened when the yellow is added, it pairs well with the Peekaboo Peach cardstock.

Rainbow Birthday Party Panda

When I saw this stamp set it looked like he was juggling, so I thought why not juggle multicoloured confetti? I tied it in with coordinating paper scraps. I coloured the dots on the hat to coordinate with the inks using my blender pen.

It seems lately I have been drawn to using my 1/2″ bits for greetings and embossing them! It’s a phase.

Leave a comment to let me know which colour is your favourite?

I found  this card went together fairly quickly when I had all the bits embossed and pre-cut. Want to give it a try? Click on the video to learn how:
