Embossing Resist with Brushos - Tag by Susanne

Hi there!

I have a tag for you today with an embossing resist technique and Brushos! It's happening very often, that people asking me what I do with my tags? Well, I use them sometimes as a simple bookmark, I glue them into my art journal I use them as a tag topper or even to decorate my shelf.

For this tag I started by stamping the "Scribble Circle" with VersaMark ink and embossed it with gold metallic powder. After that I used Brushos (Sea Green and Purple) together with water and created the background. The inside of the Circles is colored with Yellow and Alizarin Crimson. The embossed images build a nice border, so the colors will not blend into each other, if you are a little careful.
To add a bit more texture and interest to the background, I used the "Spirit Animal" stamp together with a matching ink. I stamped it randomly onto the background. I used the "Rows of Numbers" and stamped it into the circles.
The tag is adhered to a slightly bigger one from Kraft cardstock. I finished it up by adding the "Deathhead Moth", a Tim Holtz sticker and a tiny arrow.

Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a wonderful Christmas time, xx Susanne.

Hello everyone,

For my DT post today, I have a little tutorial for you. This technique is not mine; I saw somebody do this on YouTube. It is a technique using Brusho. I really didn't like my Brusho's and so regretted buying them until I saw this technique. I suppose you could do this with Bistre and Colour bursts too. Anyway, first the finished article, which is a postcard by the way :

And here's how to make it :

First, stamp your image on your postcard. Use a waterproof ink as you are going in with water later. 

When it is dry.....

Sprinkle Brusho powders on your card, avoiding the stamped image as much as possible. I used Yellow, Orange and Crimson.

You the, rub the powder into the card using your fingers, and this is what that looks like.

Next, take a stamp, spray with water and stamp.....

This is what that looks like... Continue to do this until you have done the whole card, again avoiding the stamped image. I suppose you could mask it if you wanted to.

After you finished stamping, mist a little water over the card so the colours get even more vivid. Not too much though, as it will all run and become a solid coloured card. That is exactly what I don't like about Brusho's when you use them in the traditional way. Far too messy for me... lol 

After everything is dry, take some coloured pencils or markers and colour the image. I used pencils..

Here she is in all her glory !

I then took some background stamps, and stamped the background lightly.. (a list of all stamps used is at the bottom of this post).

I also used a black marker and doodled a line around the card. 

I think this just finishes it off nicely; I still wasn't happy with the background though and decided to do a little more stamping 

This time I used black ink...

Here is the result, much better I think.... 

Lastly I chose a sentiment and stamped it in the top portion of the card... and that was that. 

Here is the finished card again :

I used the following stamps :

19015 - Dictionary page

19659 - Numbers set 

19681 Whimsical tree lady nude

19019 - Destination unknown

19566 - Bubble wrap texture
