Haven't had a play with Brushos for a while, so it was time!
I created this background using a few different shades of green and blue ... and a touch of yellow. This was all on watercolour paper.
First time using this beautiful tree die from AliExpress. Cut it out of white and popped it on top of my dry Brushos panel that was cut down to size. Added a simple sentiment banner with a staple.
Since this is has a watercoloured background, I'm entering it into the CAS Watercolour December Challenge - Anything Goes, as well.

Your background is so beautiful against your white die cut, Loll.
Beautiful Loll background! Awesome! I love the little patterns that have arisen and these beautiful streaks of color. It is so beautiful and so wonderfully highlights the whiteness of the tree. Beautiful project, Loll!
Hugs,

OooH such yummy brusho colours for that gorgeous die cut. Love all the movement in that background. Stapling your sentiment was really smart. Your cards are always so bright and happy. Merry Christmas dear friend xxx

WOW...this turned out just GORGEOUS Loll! Your background with the Brusho's turned out stunning and looks fabulous behind your lovely tree! (I've made 2 cards with the tree dies that I'll post next week...been too dark to photograph!) Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
Another beautiful die fro AE! And the background is gorgeous!
That amazing white die cut tree looks fabulous with that amazing brusho background. Glorious card x
what a gorgeous mix of greens behind your striking white tree Loll! A beautiful card! Julia xx
That stunning background makes the beautiful tree pop! Love this card!
Just beautiful, Loll! I love the combination of the clean white tree die-cut and the soft and yet vibrant Brushos background! Hideko xx
Crisp and vibrant, Loll ... with a wonderful sense of movement in both the background colour and in that fabulous tree ... gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)
Wow Loll, I love the contrast between the white tree and that bright and beautiful background. x
Gorgeous Brusho background. So vibrant allowing that beautiful tree die to pop. I wish I was better at shopping at AliExpress... I just get so overwhelmed and seem to see the same products in a loop. 😂
I hadn't played with Brushoes in a while either, Loll, so I got them out Friday night and played around. I didn't quite the results I was looking for or had achieved before. Nothing like the vibrant panel you have that looks so fabulous behind that white die cut.
gorgeous..love the rich colours!!
xx Karen
