Winter Storm

Hi everyone.  I had fun playing with Brushos yesterday.  It's been a while.  I forgot how messy they can be. :)  Next time I will definitely wear protective gloves. :)

But, you can't deny, that the colours are so amazing.  I used just Black Brushos over top of the Aspen Tree Stencil (The Crafter's Workshop) on mixed media paper.  I spritzed with lots of water, quickly removed the stencil and let the water sit for a few seconds before carefully blotting with a paper towel.  I LOVE the gorgeous mix of colours you get.  Very simple card to make too!!  I added two snowhills by tearing my white card stock for the bottom; splattered diluted white acrylic paint for falling snow, and added a simple sentiment.  Done! :)

  2. Oh, it truly is amazing! And that stencil, too! Together they make the most beautiful scene. You chose the perfect deer for it as he does appear to be bracing himself against the winter storm. I'm so happy to see your card today, Loll!

  3. What a pretty winter storm, Lolly! The colors are amazing and the trees stayed so white! It's snowing here right now. Too bad it's dark outside but I have the spotlight on so I can watch the snow out the window.

  10. Very much the view we've had this week, minus the deer, until today. Now we can't even see the trees for the fog, though the snow and hoare frost is still visible closer to the house! I love this technique and you've created a fab card with it too. :)

    Surprisingly we're in the middle of a very cold wintry period at the mo - snow and ice and really cold temps - makes a change from the rain! Hugs. xx

  17. That's the beauty of brushos. You get such amazing colours from just one little pot. You would never believe it if your didn't know. This has worked so well. love that dark sky with the trees. Stunning xx

  18. If somebody asked what colour the Brusho is you would certainly not say black with all the pretty specks of colour and it definitely has a look of the night sky as it has a dark blue hue to it, and with the added torn paper snow hills and the black silhouette stag and sentiment it makes a terrific seasonal card Loll. x

  22. You've recreated the Stormy winter sky perfectly, Loll. I haven't used my Brushos lately and usually have a difficult time with them. Either too much powder or too much water. Yours looks just right.
