A burst of colour!


Hi everyone, I bought this die because it was a great price due to being discontinued, or so the site said.
I'm glad I did as I love how it turned a horrible coloured mess with brushos into this!

The challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More is to make your mark, I used brushos.



I'm also linking up to the Happy Little Stampers anything goes with dies challenge.



and the challenge at Seize the Birthday has a soft & simple toppings option, or as I've chosen, anything goes birthday.



Supplies:

Memory Box winged swirl die; watercolour paper & brushos; MFT pierced & traditional tag stax dies; Spellbinder small & large circle dies; sentiment sticker.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

Diecuts do the most amazing things with pretty trash! You have made a fabulous card...would never have known that you didn't like your die cut paper before cutting it.

Die cuts wok so well with Brusho panels, it looks great against the black.

The colors look great on that die, and it's really popping on the black background. Nice job. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More! Martina

This is very striking Cathy and the Brusho colours on this pretty MB swirl stand out beautifully against the dark background and wonderful contrast using the white layer on the tag and the sentiment. x
