We have used Brusho's and stencils before in a class a few years ago but I wanted to revisit the technique as I recently bought some of the Tonic Shimmer Powders and the Cosmic Pixie Powders. They all work so beautifully with the Brusho's with the added bonus of some gorgeous shimmer that the Brusho's don't have. When you use Brusho's on top of stencils, then spritz with water, you also have the stencil coated with Brusho's (or other powders if you're using them) that you can flip over onto a clean piece of card and get a negative image using the reverse side. You can do these onto plain white cardstock or, as I have in the "Transform" sample below, colour your cardstock first. I used Tea Dye Distress Ink spritzed with a little Perfect Pearl mixed with water for some shimmer. Then placed the stencil over the top, dropped on some Storm Cloud Tonic Shimmer, spritzed with water then immediately lifted the stencil off. The stencil can then be flipped over onto another piece of cardstock to get a negative image that has only the Brusho colours on it. Easy!

Wink of Stella pens in blue and light green)

"Bags & Shoes"...

Finally, this is another sample from the last class where we used Alcohol Inks on Silver Mirror Card.
