Team Blog Hop- Coloring

I love being apart of such a talented team! Each month, we coordinate a Blog Hop with a different theme. I am so excited for this month’s because there are some truly talented Artists on our team who can color like nobody’s business!

I took this opportunity to try something I’ve wanted to do which is paint a sunset! So I took 2 of my favorite things (the Waterfront Stamp Set and Brusho Crystal Colors) and gave it a shot!

I love all the colors that come in a sunset. The reds, blues, purples, yellows……. it makes for a magical scene. I have to tell you that I didn’t know what to expect when I started but I am happy with the end result!

I added wink of Stella to the water to add a shimmer because I love the shimmer that bounces off the ocean during a sunset and tried to recreate that. What do you think?

To make this card, I used a piece of Watercolor paper. First I stamped the land, mountains, trees and reflection of the mountains in Stazon Black Ink. Then I sprinkled out some Yellow Brusho onto a large clear block. Using my Aqua Painter, I mixed the crystals with water from the Aqua Painter and started painting yellow where I wanted the sun set to be the brightest. I sprinkled all the other Brusho colors out onto the block (keeping them separate) and applied color from lightest to darkest on my Watercolor paper. I tried to keep the center lighter and darker towards the edges. When it was completely dry, I used Wink of Stella to make the water sparkle. The sentiment I used was from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set. This card makes me want to escape to a tropical island and sit on the beach with an ice cold drink!

Here is another “sunset” I painted with Brusho. (I just couldn’t stop once I started!)

I used the Follow Your Dreams Bundle to add a dreamcatcher “moon” if you will. I used Gold foil behind the Dream Catcher and I embossed the Sentiment in Gold Embossing Powder.

I hope you’ll get out your Brusho Crystals and your Aqua Painter and give it a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
