Beautiful Day with Brusho Crystal Colors

It's hard to think about creating a card, without the mind

wandering towards the Brusho Crystal Colours (p 26

of the Occasions catalog).  They are yummy.

In this example, I used the combo shown on page 26, 

pairing the Beautiful Day set with the Brusho Colours.

All you have to do is clear emboss the butterfly on to

watercolor paper, sprinkle the Brusho and spritz.  

You can let the color run, mop it up or add more,

until you get the look that you like.

It's a bit like cooking, keep adding the salt or 

other spices until it tastes good!

Waterfront Behind Wood Textures

The Waterfront photopolymer set on page 48 is

absolutely one of my favorites.  If you spend any time

looking at internet samples, you'll note that this is a 

VERY popular set, with lots of ideas shown.

You can also use several techniques with this set,

including water painting (with aqua painter or paint brush)

over the images to create a more watercolor look. 

It is also a very easy set to work with, building

combinations of images and colors.  If you are a camper

or traveler, you can recreate scenes from those experiences.

In this example, I created an oval in the Wood Textures

DSP (LOVE!) and mounted the scene behind it.  I wanted to

make it look like a picture that you might hang on the wall,

with a large wood frame.

The sentiment was created with the FREE SAB 

Celebrate You Thinlits Dies.  

SAB You are simply amazing

The fun part about the new year is new rubber,

including the Occasions catalog and SAB 

(Sale-A-Bration) time.  That provides serious 

rationalization for picking up a couple of new products.

On of my fav SAB items is the Amazing You set (p 16)

with coordinating Celebrate You Thinlits Dies.

They interweave so well, that they really get your

creative juices flowing.

You'll notice that I also added a layer of the

Petal Passion DSP on page 23 of the Occasions catalog.

This black and white DSP just perks things up 

and coordinates perfectly with any color combination.
