CAS Mix Up August Challenge

Time for our new challenge at CAS Mix Up and this month the challenge  is WATERCOLOUR and the theme set by Loll is 'BEACH'

These shell stamps don't get used nearly enough so I took the dust from them and stamped them onto some mixed media paper, heat embossing in white.

My Brushos also don't get used enough either so I used the Turquoise and Black on this card!
I sprinkled the Turquoise first  then sprayed with water and just watched as the colours appeared. I added a tiny sprinkling of Black here and there and sprayed again lightly.

The sentiment is an old one taken from another stamp.

We have  
     as our Guest designer this month and some beautiful cards made by the Design Team so please go visit!

Gorgeous brusho seashell panel, Viv! I love this card! The heat-embossing resist worked fantastic, and the added black brusho shows bits of different colors, which makes shells look realistic and interesting!

Wow Viv you got great coverage with the Brushos, I thought it was Alcohol inks and the embossed shells are a wonderful design element embossed in white.
