Brusho and Spray Starch Butterfly Card / Tutorial

What do you get when you add a watercolored butterfly to a Brusho/spray starch technique?  You get a beautiful card ... for sure!  I love the blues and greens together.

Here's how you do it:
- Spray starch over Glossy White CS.
- Sprinkle on your choice of Brusho colors.
- Watch the beautiful bursts of color begin.
- Add more starch, if needed, to get the blend of colors you want.
- Cover your CS with plastic wrap and scrunch it up.
- Press it down and leave it for 30 minutes or so.
- Uncover the magic.
- Set aside to finish drying.
Note:
When you remove the plastic wrap, your CS will still be quite wet, so you can just leave it to air dry or heat set it.  I left mine overnight, to be sure everything was ready to be used for my card.  Sometimes, heat setting can move and change the color formations in a way you don't like as well.  If  you leave it to air dry, the CS will stay exactly as it looks when you first remove the plastic wrap.

I stamped my butterfly onto watercolor paper, heat embossed it with Gold EP and then watercolored it with Brusho mixed with water in my paint palette.  I did not add any sentiment at all on the front of my card.  I just wanted the butterfly and the beautiful background to be the stars of my card.  I hope you'll try this technique.  It's a lot of fun.
