One last card to wrap up the week - this is a really large butterfly, and I've been wanting to do one for a while. The wings are 4-3/4" across at the widest point - it's huge, and just gorgeous.
Again, I used my MISTI for this technique - that tool has changed the way I stamp, for sure! (And did you know 2 new sizes will be revealed this weekend at the CHA Megashow?) This technique is done with Brusho powders, which usually frightens people whose MISTIs are new... but mine is well loved, worn, and stained, so I feel free to get a little messy in it. :) The stamp is misted with water, then stamped into dry powder on the card... then that's repeated until the powder is all activated. It's not a really clear image, but that adds to the effect. A tutorial is probably in order soon!
Stamps I used: Big Butterfly, Drops 2, What If
For the second card I created a background using Brusho powders on photo paper - I love how vibrant the colors stay! I added a background stamp for texture, and a sweet charm on some wrapped twine.
Stamps I used: Grunge Butterfly, CAC Vintage Honeycomb

ReplyDeleteBeautiful bold colors on your cards. Very nice cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for explaining about "MISTI". I had no idea. I am interested in trying this technique and would be very grateful for a tutorial.
Thanks Dina!
Your cards are so beautiful Dina. Such a true artists you are.
ReplyDeleteGreat results using the Brusho powders and the butterfly stamps.
ReplyDeleteThe technique with the Brusho powders sounds intriguing and you get great results. I just don't know if I am brave enough to try it.
ReplyDeleteVery creative! Gorgeous card and fabulous images!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Love them both but especially love the grunge butterfly
ReplyDeleteYour work is always a joy to behold! And, you are correct...I would LOVE to see a VIDEO tutorial of your work with the MISTI and Brusho! How do you apply the powder to the stamp ON the Misti? How do you clean it to prevent "contaminating" future projects? (And, yes, my beloved Misti is well used and well loved but "clean"!) When I use any of the brands of powders, I spend a week finding little color smudges :) on any project I do on that same work area!...and I am really not that messy! :) HELP! any Tips would be much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI love your really large butterfly!! Cool card using the brushos with this stamp!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of Brusho powders before. It would be great to see a tutorial and thanks for describing the technique to us.
ReplyDeleteThese Brusho stamped cards are amazing, Dina! Thanks, Paulette S.
