CRAYON BRUSHO RESIST

 Brushos and other similar powders are a great way to add colour to watercolour paper or, as I've used here, photo paper. There are quite a few different brands of these highly pigmented powders available, and I have used the following for my samples: Brushos, Nuvo Shimmer Powder, Lindy's Magical Shakers and Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder. They are all dry pigment powders made up of several different colours that create the final colour when mixed together, but the amazing effect you get if you don't mix them is wonderful! You end up with little bursts of several colours all in the one powder mix.

I've used a white crayon for the resist technique portion of this technique. That's all of the white marks that you can see on the photo paper.

BRUSHO RESIST

Resist techniques are always a favourite and can be used with almost any product that you can add colour with.  For these samples I used my white embossing powder to create the background, then used Brusho's, Cosmic Pixie Powder and Tonic Shimmer Powders to create the colour over the embossed images.  You can add the powder directly to the embossed images on white card, then spritz with water, or spritz with water first and then add the colour.  Alternatively, you can spritz some water on a scrap of acetate (or your craft mat), tap on some of the Brusho's (or similar), then place your embossed white paper into the Brusho's to get a more blended look with the colours.
