Hi there crafty peeps! It's time again for Papertrey Ink's Throwback Thursday! It's when the design team features older stamps and dies and gives them new ideas and flair! Today's Throwback Thursday features the cool artsy stamp set called Brushed Off. It's comprised of pretty paint brush strokes in lines and circles. Perfect to make 'artsy' cards and to make cool backgrounds. So many possibilities with this set! I decided to go with a rainbow theme for today - since all I've been posting is Christmas lately! I was ready for something a little different!
I created a background of rainbow brush strokes and then popped it with dark black in a fabulous die cut. Lastly I added a vellum butterfly. I can't wait to mail out this card!
I stamped the long skinny brushstroke across the top of a watercolor paper panel. I used five colors and slightly overlapped one color over the other one as I went across. I used a wet paintbrush to blur the stamped lines and make it look more artistic! I also varied how far down onto the paper I stamped each brush stroke. Makes it more interesting I think.
I couldn't resist adding paint/ink splatters too! I tried to splatter the same color underneath the color so it would look cool. The die cut is glued on using a glue pen - so easy.
Thanks for stopping by today on this Throwback Thursday! And, hey, it's almost the weekend again!! This week went by FAST! I'm glad because my hubs comes home tomorrow from his business trip and I miss him! Hope you have a great day, and a great weekend! XOXO
SUPPLIES FOR TODAY!
