Today I thought I'd share a card that I meant to make for MMM but it wasn't ready in time. Actually on Monday morning it was still in my head! I was inspired by an article by Kay Carley in July's Craft Stamper magazine using Brushos.
It is similar but different to Kay's but I liked the way she created a light brusho background.. My brusho backgrounds are always on the dark side or way too much intense colour. I end up using loads of water to wash the paint away!
All the colour on this card as been achieved with Brushos. I enjoyed playing with experimental ways of using the paint. It was a cold, miserable, wet day on Monday so it was an ideal day to spend in my craft room . I only popped out to Make Dave ( The landscaper building my new deck area) cups of tea.
Although I enjoyed making this card there are elements of it that "bug" me, mainly to do with positioning. I've added some black dots in a straight line from the sentiment to help with the balance.
Hope you like it.

Gorgeous piece of work Suze. Love the colour combo. Val xx
Just remembered to pop over to look at this beauty! I know what you mean about Brusho backgrounds. I keep meaning to get mine out for another practice as I loved Kay's samples too. I think you did really well with this one and the beautiful red contrasts perfectly. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned the balance but I think maybe , if you're going to 'nit pick', lol, moving the sentiment a tad to the right or ....... adding the dots as you have done ......problem sorted! I still think it's gorgeous!

I think this is amazing Suzi! The background is just stunning and the poppies really pop against it.
