BRUSHO WRINKLE

Once again we'll be playing with Brusho's this fortnight but this time as more of a watercolour base with plastic wrap covering it while it is still wet.  For added shimmer I've used my Perfect Pearl Water Mix (simply a water spritz bottle that has a small amount of the white Perfect Pearl added to it to make a shimmer spray with no colour, but just the shimmer).   I've done this class before using a different watercolour medium instead of the Brusho's but I love how gorgeous these colours are and normally this for technique you need to let the card dry for quite some time to let the wrinkles take effect. 
 Last time I dried the cards in a slow oven with no fan on and this works quite well.  For obvious reasons you can't use a heat gun as it would make the plastic melt.  These also look very different in the flesh as the computer unfortunately doesn't show the gorgeous shimmer these have.

"Spirit Animal"...

"Unloved flower"...

"Breathe"...

"Exhale"...

"Like a star"... 

This sample below is double the size of an atc, so it's 5' wide by 3.5" high.  This gives a better idea of what the wrinkle pattern looks like but you still can't see the shimmer.  :-(

Here's another sample using Turquoise and Purple.
