Dandelion Wishes Card with Brusho ... and a Spring Open House Party Reminder...

Just a reminder:
My Spring Open House Party is this Sunday, March 17. Should we wear green? I can't wait to see everyone. With my recent hand surgery and some medical problems, I haven't been out much. Stamping has been minimal, but constant, until my hand surgery. I'm doing a little more each day, so my biggest obstacle now is patience. It takes time to heal and regain the use of my hand that I need, in order to do all that I want and need to do. It's getting there, but soooooo slow.
To keep you going, here's a card I made that I enjoyed ... a lot!

Oh yes! It's Brusho!!! I've done an emboss technique, using white embossing powder (EP) and I love it. If you missed it, Brusho is Pigmented Watercolor Crystals. It's the closest this to magic I've ever seen and more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

The background on the card base is embossed, using the Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). It's one of those folders that makes both sides of the card stock look really great.

I got a little carried away and used the Brusho on the inside of the card ... and the envelope. If I did this again, I'd use a separate piece of CS to do the Brusho for the envelope and attach it once it dried. It would be a little stronger. Mine does work, though.

Dandelions with 4 Colors

I actually made my framed dandelion project (from my previous post) after I made these cards. I wanted to try out our new background stamp in different colors. I'll let you know, after I share them, which color I liked best for this project. It was a tough call because I really liked them all. Here they are.

The colors are Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather and Pool Party. The first 3 are brand new colors and Pool Party has been around for a while.

I love this dandelion stamp set so much. I've actually been wanting a dandelion stamp for quite a while. Thank you, Stampin' Up!

Ok, so now it's your turn. Which color do you like the best? In real life, I think I like the Soft Sea Foam the best, but in the photos, I think it's a tie between the Balmy Blue and Highland Heather. If you know me at all, you may have figured out that I had absolutely no use at all for our old Perfect Plum. To me, it was a dull, grayish color that didn't work with any project I ever dreamed up to do. I actually detested the color. There was no sad good-bye from me when it left. Sorry, plum lovers. Now we have 2 absolutely fabulous purples --- Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. They are both just gorgeous and I look forward to using them a lot.

A Little Framing for the Day

I have a cute little framed project for you today. It works perfectly with my white frame. I've created this project with one of our returning ink colors - Coastal Cabana. I did a happy dance when I learned that this color was returning. I love it!

Adding the layer of black behind the stamped piece always makes the stamped piece 'pop' as they like to say on HGTV:) I added the die cut 'love' to finish off the piece. The background stamp is called Bokeh Dots. Love it!
