Hello crafty friends
Today i have a mixed media layout to share and a few ideas on how to use Brusho Powders to add colour to your trims.
I took a photograph and cropped it to size before mounting it onto patterned paper. Next i marked out where the photo was going to be placed and then i added gesso around it with a palette knife. Once dry i spritzed the whole thing with water and sprinkled over OST Blue and Turquoise Brusho powders.
I then added a few stencils using modeling paste and added more Brusho powder over the top. Next i cut up pieces of cheese cloth and sprinkled Turquoise and Sea Green Brusho powder over the top and added water to activate the dye. I Cut up some strips off patterned paper and add gesso to them before adding Brusho powder and then texture stamps onto the layers. I positioned them onto the layout and once i was happy with the arrangement i glued them down. I then added the photo and glued the dyed cheese cloth around it like a textured frame.
Next i took some white hessian and dyed it blue using OST Blue Brusho powder. I just sprinkled on the powder and then painted water over it to get a more faded look. I cut up the hessian into pieces and glued it around my layout.
I added texture stamps around the layout and then glued sea green seed beads over the cheese cloth. I decorated around the layout with mini shells and starfish. I painted the wooden embellishments with gesso and then painted on the brusho powder once it had dried. Brushos can be mixed with a little water and used as a watercolour paint.
