Hi!  Welcome to my blog.  I’m Sara Levin the artful inker.  Today, I’m hoping to enjoy a beautiful day outside while I watch the band and a home football game.  For your inspiration, I’ve created a Follow Your Dreams with Brusho card.  It’s perfect to send for a new job/promotion, graduation, encouragement, etc.

Follow Your Dreams with Brusho

 

 

For this card, I used a Balmy Blue card base.

Then, I added two tight mats: one in Very Vanilla

and the other in Balmy Blue.

 

 

Next, I used a piece of Watercolor Paper.

Before laying down any water or Brusho, I added random dots of Fine Tip Glue Pen.

Once the glue was dry, I liberally wet the watercolor paper and sprinkled on

Prussian Blue Brusho.

Tip: Tip the paper to allow the liquid to move.  And sprinkle in additional Brusho

for more color/blooms of color.

When I was satisfied with the color, I spritzed the back of the watercolor paper to help it flatten.

While it was drying, I cut three “dream” from Balmy Blue, stacking them and coating

the top “dream” with Fine Tip Glue Pen for a lacquered finish.

 

 

Behind the “dream”, I added a Vellum Chase Your Dreams die cut

and loops of Silver Metallic Thread.

Using my Stamparatus, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and then heat embossed in silver.

To cut the Silver Glimmer Paper pieces, I used the Twinkle Builder Punch.

 

 

To finish the inside of the card, I added a Very Vanilla mat

layered with a strip cut from the watercolor paper.

 

 

And for the coordinating envelope, I stamped the Follow Your Dreams

dream catcher in Blueberry Bushel.

As soon as I stamped, I quickly brushed it with a damp Aqua Painter

to cause the ink to bleed just slightly.

 

Thanks for stopping in today to see my Follow Your Dreams with Brusho card!
