I'm so excited today!! Happy Little Stampers is HAPPY to announce our new Design Teams! Yay!! :) Click on the link to head over and check it out. Welcome to all my new teammies!!
I wanted to make a card to celebrate this exciting day.
and I wanted to use the techniques for June's CAS Challenge - Sprays - Mists.
I was inspired by my friend Bonnie's card HERE. Isn't it gorgeous. Just love the colours she's used with the white accents. I also wanted to experiment with my Brushos as well. I wanted to keep the colours as separate as possible (when spraying with water, control is difficult), but it worked out pretty well. The blue and yellow did not mix to green, although the blue and red did mix a little so there's some purple ... but I like it! :)
This is a little different for me. I'm basically letting go to a point, as I'm ALL about control, :) I love the artsy feel of this card. Thanks for the inspiration Bonnie!!
Here's how I did it. I heat embossed my tree image in white onto watercolour paper. Then I sprinkled a little of the turquoise brushos in a couple of places and spritzed with just a little water. Let it soak in a few seconds, and then lightly blotted with a paper towel, I repeated that with the red and then the yellow. Then went back a second time and did it again. By blotting, the paper is still damp, but not wet, so I didn't have too much water running all over the place. I'm usually pretty heavy-handed with the water mister :) ... but took my time and kept my spraying to a minimum.
I hope you'll check out the challenge and come play along. Ink sprays, glimmer sprays, water mister ... anything that comes out of a spray bottle will work for this challenge. Just remember to keep your cards CAS. :)
And again, I'm thrilled about our new teams at HLS and can't wait to get started working with them in July!! :)

Gorgeous artistic design, Loll! Love the free flow look of the Brushos! Sounds like wonderful things in store for you and HLS...and that's no big surprise :)
Fabulous card teamie ...... I love the resist using the Brushos and the colours are so pretty together. I'm so excited to be joining this fab DT (can you tell?!) Can't wait to get started. xxx
Hello Loll,
thank you very much for this unusual welcome card. We are three design teams, each team consists of 10 people ... so we create big tree, we have a common trunk and roots, we are one. The beautiful message! Thank you again for your trust and opportunity.
Regards,
BozenA

So pretty, Loll. It's good to step out of our comfort zone sometimes.

The embossed tree is gorgeous! I love your spray of brusho colours! I have to say I LOVE what Bozena said!! xx
So gorgeous - light and beautiful!
Oh Loll, what lovely colors! Your card is gorgeous and made with such thoughtfulness! I'm super excited about this fantastic adventure and am looking forward to playing along with you for the next six months. I too, love how Bozena put it, to be part of the same tree!
Beautiful colours! And thank you so much for making a card to celebrate the new members on the HLS team! It is going to be such fun making the cards and getting to know some new stampers!
Oh my goodness! what a master piece :)
I guess Brushos are the next great trend. I'm with you about the control, Loll, but your card turned out beautifully.
So delicate and dreamy, Loll ... a gorgeous card! Anita :)
Love this beautiful soft card Loll - its so pretty:) xx
This is fabulous Loll! I must make up some brighter spray colours (mine are a little too subtle) I need to spray too liberally to get a decent amount of colour and then the paper is too wet!! Have a lovely evening! Hazel xx
