Mailable Monday - Sure Do Love You

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday!  It's a new week over here and I'm preeeety glad!  Jon was gone ALL last week and I do NOT adult well alone!  I usually have my mom visit or go to her house if he's going to be gone (even for one night lol) but it just didn't work out this time and being eight hours away versus four and no Amtrak, makes it even harder!  So, I didn't stamp or blog much...or get anything else done ;-)   And speaking of my mom, I reallllly miss her and home!  I haven't been home since Thanksgiving with Jon's melanoma scare and that's a LONG time for me, especially when I'm usually gone two weeks over Christmas!  We've been busy this month and then I have a wedding in February so I didn't want to make the trek too many times right in a row.

Anyway, I'm happy to have my partner home this week!  Ian is pretty good company these days but it's nice to have adult conversation and moral support, too ;-)  Hopefully, I'll have plenty of motivation this week to do all kinds of stuff, including stamping!


For this card, I used my Brusho Crystal Color for my background.  I love how it looks more pink than red (which is the actual color of the powder).  I had seen a friend of mine post a card where she mopped up the excess water instead of just letting it dry and it made it more pink, so I used a paper towel and that's what I did!  These backgrounds are just so fun!

Hello Brusho

Hi stampers!  We have a new product, or new to SU product, in our Occasions Catalog.  It's called Brusho Crystal Color and it's pretty nifty!  It's made to be used in watercolor type techniques.  For this card, I shook some out onto my watercolor paper and spritzed it with water after I had heat embossed my sentiment.  I used the red and yellow colors here (they are brand specific so they don't have SU names but you can mix and match them with many of our colors) and there are infinite possibilities but this was a simple technique.  I want you to note, if you do get these, please don't take the tops off!  Just poke a hole or two and shake them on or you'll have a huge mess!  Personally, I just used my paper pricer and poked only one hole.  And make sure to wipe it off after you poke.  The color is SUPER concentrated!


Isn't it fantastic looking?  I love how vibrant the colors are.  And you can play around with different levels of saturation.  I spritzed this one pretty well so that the colors would really spread and blend.

I added a few elements with the Oh So Eclectic bundle which includes my embossed leaves.  Some people think that die is faulty but it's made to emboss and not cut!  My tranquil tide leaves are from the Sure Do Love You Bundle.  A few Glitter Enamel Dots and a leaf from the Touches of Nature Elements round it out.

Sorry my photo is kind of dark.  It's been cloudy here the past few days which is why I didn't post this earlier, I've been waiting for better light for photos but I finally gave up.  Is what it is!
