Penny Black Charming & Brushos -- CASING Zoe Russell

I made two cards after seeing this gorgeous card by Zoe Russell: http://zoeblingcards.blogspot.com/2015/03/penny-black-stamps.html. Who would have thought that black Brusho could make that beautiful, multi-colored background!

Card: 4 ½ x 6 ¼
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 100-lb. cardstock for card base
Stampin’ Up! black cardstock for mat
Fabriano 140-lb. hot-press watercolor paper
Penny Black stamp, Charming
Ranger’s Archival Ink, Jet Black
Molotow Art Masking Liquid, Refill, applied with an old brush (Don’t use a good one!)
Peerless Watercolors (Brilliant Yellow, Deep Yellow, Light Green, Dark Green, Sky Blue)

Stamp, mask, and let dry. Sprinkle Brusho watercolor powders, and spray with water. Let dry. Remove mask, and watercolor. Next time, I think I'll emboss the image. That would make it easier to watercolor. Also, if you use any watercolor powders, be careful to move aside anything you don't want to get specks on. It's amazing how these travel.
