Crafty with Caly: Artful Brush

Hi friends! Happy Saturday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Caly Person with another gorgeous card to inspire! Be sure to watch the video below for all the details, and enjoy!

Hello there! Thanks for joining me today as I share a card made using the Paint Your World Collection by Vicky Papaioannou!  Her collection features 4 paint-brushed themed die sets, a painter’s pallet, and a stamp set that works well with them all.  Exercising some restraint, I limited myself to two paint brush sets and the stamp set.

My card today combines the Butterfly Burst and Artful Brushes sets to create a feminine artistic brush with lots of pink details, flowers, and butterflies.  When I make die-cut cards like this, I like to plan out all my colors first and die-cut all at once so putting the card together is fun and creative.  I have a video showing my process and hope you enjoy it!

WATCH THE VIDEO:

My background is a watercolor wash using some Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide Inks.  I applied the color initially with a brush, then switched to using some cellophane cut from stamp/die packaging to do some ink-smooshing.

Once I have all the die-cut elements ink-blended to give them some color, I pieced them together to prepare for the final card layout.  The flowers I used today are from the Mini Blooms and Sprigs set.  I added the brush and large paint splat down first, then worked on my flowers, foliage, then butterflies.

To finish, I stamped a sentiment from the Paint Your World Sentiments set and fussy cut around the letters for more interest.  I hope you enjoyed this card!  You could re-create this card in a rainbow of colors and it would be so much fun!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!~Caly

  1. This is so sweet & soft. Love the colors. Of course I bought most of these that I didn’t already have. I can’t wait till I get them.

  2. So pretty. The watercolor wash really added allot to the card. The colors used were great, too. Thank you.
