Colourcraft produce the wonderful Brusho's, but also lots of other paints and mediums. I combined Rubber Dance's Playful Penguins and Affirmations stamps and Colourcraft Brusho's and Aztec paints to make a fun and colourful scene.
I spritzed water on my card, sprinkled orange, sunburst lemon and sandstone brusho powders, spritzed again and went and had a cup of tea while the magic happened.
I stamped the ice floe stamp from Playful Penguins on a piece of white card using a mask so I could get a continuous image. I fussy cut the top of the images and loosely watercoloured the 'water' using a tiny bit of ultramarine brusho powder in water. You don't need much, the colours are really intense. I used quite a lot of water to tone it down to this beautiful blue.
I stamped and embossed my penguin family. I adjusted the position of the head on one of the big penguins and two of the small penguins. Sorry folks, scissors were involved!!! I coloured the large penguins with blue Aztec paint and the small ones with grey Brusho. I added details with yellow Aztec paint and a white gel pen and fussy cut. I stamped the large believe and the smaller all things are possible with black archival. I used some of the ultra marine blue paint to fill in the letters on the believe.
