Messy Artsy card

I needed to use up the Brusho I had mixed with water, to create the sentiment for this card and the cards in the following post.
 I used a soft, flat paintbrush and splattered the wet Brusho all over the card to create a background for the sentiment, using  very thin foam pads  to adhered  the pot of brushes  from the stampin up set  Crafting Forever.

Brusho card

 Theses are a little bit different for me, Certainly not my usual style of card.
An Artist friend gave me some pots of Brusho.  I don't think she was too impressed with results she got from them, so she wanted to see what I would do with them.
I have to say all of my attempts with Brusho went in the bin. I really didn't like the effects I was getting using the sprinkle method.
So I sprinkled a little of each of the colours into a paint palette  and added a splash of water to each colour and used a soft, flat paintbrush to apply the Brusho to my water colour card, after I had heat embossed the sentiment on the card using fine black embossing powder.
I have to say I love the way this stuff dries when used in this way. I have used several brands and types of water colour paints and have been very disappointed with the result once the paint had dried, but this stuff dries beautifully, so smooth and stays vibrant. I don't tink I will ever use the sprinkle method again but I would certainly use it to paint images.
