I started with a background using mainly the brown powder on wet watercolour paper. This tends to result in a blurry effect as the brushos wick across the page.
In that blurry effect I saw a sea bed, colourful coral, stones etc.. I went with it and selected some fish stamps from Paper Artsy (Hot Pick 1111 and 1201) and stamped them with Versamark.
I used a translucent Pearl Blue (WOW) and silver for the background fishes and white embossing powders for the foreground.
Another photo to show the effect of the Blue pearl embossing powder and reveal the hidden fish.
Let me know what you think as although I think there are good bits I feel something is not
quite right!
I love the background, and your fish are cool! I think you did great as I always have trouble embossing on watercolour paper!
ReplyDeleteStunning card Ms Crafty. Love the white embossing on the Brusho background. Fabulous effect.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Flo xx
A fabulous card. I don't yet have any Brushos myself but they are amazing for backgrounds and you've really done them justice. The fish stamps work beautifully with the background to make a perfect card. Thank you for the lovely comments that you've left on my blog :)
