I started with a piece of watercolour paper, sprinkled with three colours of Brushos (Violet, Turquoise, Leaf Green) and spritzed with lots of water. I love the deep, saturated colours you get from Brushos. Once the panel was dry, I cut it to size and then splattered with diluted silver re-inker. I die-cut a row of flowers in white card stock and secured it over top of my Brushos panel. I stamped the sentiment (Stampendous Brushed Wishes - retired) using Silver Delicata ink. I die-cut the flowers (Memory Box Painted Flower Stems - retired) a second time so I could layer another flower head on top, which gives the flowers more depth ... this was to cover up a stray brushos that ended up on one of my original row of flowers. :) I finished by glued silver half-pearls to the centers of my flowers.

Stunning blue, purple and green Brushos background for your beautiful die cut and layered flowers, Lolly. Wonderful Birthday card, mf. TFS Love and Hugs..Nancy
Wow, Lolly, you got some gorgeous saturated colors which look amazing against the dimensional white flowers! (Love that stem design on the die.) And I'll bet the shine from the silver accents is brilliant IRL! Love, Dolly
Beautiful background that makes those white flowers pop. Great use of our challenge colors Loll. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.

What a happy accident you had a splatter because the layered flowers are even more gorgeous! Love this background! So pretty, my friend!
I like your layered white blooms on the vibrant background! Marvelous card, Loll!
Such great contrast with the bright purple, blue and green Brushos background with that bit of white spattering Loll, and then the the pretty bright white die cut flowers over the top..a beautiful card. x
I LOVE this (of course I do - it's blue and white!). Beautiful background from the brushos and the silver splattering, and lovely die cut on top.
oooh love those colours, the white really pops against them ♥
That's a gorgeous background Loll, the white flowers are so striking against it! Thankyou for playing along at Seize the Birthday too, Cathy x
You got stunning color with your Brusho's. Very bright and cheerful for those lovely flowers. The double flower heads look like they were always meant to be. The silver accents are a perfect touch.
Super pretty card, Loll! I LOVE the crisp white silhouettes against the rich background you created! Sue
Oh, those pretty flowers with their twirling tendrils! You have amazing control over those Brushos. It's a striking and gorgeous contrast!
I have not tried Brushos but your results look amazing! That Memory Box die is so pretty and whimsical. Such a great birthday card, Loll. Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday!
Beautiful! Your brushos are vibrant and lend a perfect backdrop to your sweet flowers
Stunning Loll and so bold and beautiful. Amazing result with your Brusho's - such depth of colours with jus the hint of purple. Gorgeous die cut flowers and lovely pearl centres.Nice silver blingy splatters.
Oooh… the vibrant colours definitely caught my eye. Love how the white die cut flowers just pop off the panel. Just beautiful.
Loll, thank you for playing along with us at STB, your card is gorgeous. Your backgrounds are just stunning, so vibrant and beautiful. And of course your while die flowers with the fancy leaves and curly cues add a big punch to the whole card! thanks again for playing along! Heart Hugs, Col
Another really gorgeous background, Loll! This color combo is so striking against your lovely white blooms, which I've never seen before...I love all the swirls on the stems! xx
I love the pretty white die-cut flowers pop against the gorgeous saturated brusho background, Loll! Layering the flowers makes a big difference and adds so much depth and interest!
