Take a deep breath. Relax.
The background of this card was made by smooshing a piece of
coated cardstock onto some wet Brusho crystals on my craft mat.
You know how you always have that leftover run off?
I hate to let it go to waste sometimes.
It made a very light background so I sprinkled a
bit of Olive Brusho crystals on top of the wet piece.
I loved all the colors that popped out!
Once dry, simple stamping was all this needed.
