Have you tried Brushos, Color Bursts or any of the powders that make such fabulous designs when you add water? Now is the time to get them out and make a card for
Just Us Girls because that's what our host Chris is asking for this week.
I did mine a little differently. I took a large piece of multi-media paper and sprayed it with spray starch. I sprinkled on the Brushos and watched them move and spread, spraying a little more starch and sprinkling a little more powder where needed. Then I covered the entire paper with plastic wrap wrinkling it up and letting it dry overnight. I meant to take a picture of the paper when I pulled the plastic wrap off but I forgot. I die cut flowers, laying them in strategic places to get the best color and this is the result.
The sentiment is from Essentials by Ellen. I had a lot of paper left after cutting an A2 size panel so I cut more flowers and made another card.
For this one I cut a stitched square from cream cardstock and stamped the sentiment from MFT in Cup O' Joe.

Wow! Those flowers are amazing. Brilliant idea to die cut the flowers from the Brushos pieces.
Spray starch, how cool!! These are lovely Bobby!!
Great use of the powders using the cuts
Oh my word, only YOU would think of this. I have never used spray starch, but I'm going to try it. And then putting the plastic wrap on top is GENIUS!!! I can't wait to do it. Your cards are gorgeous, love the colorful die cuts against the white. These are getting pinned for sure!!!!
Awesome effect of spray starch on Brushos, Bobby! Two really beautiful cards!
Gosh, Bobby, these are gorgeous ... I'm reminded of beautiful wildflower meadows with the blooms gently drifting in the breeze ... beautifully brusho'd! Hugs, Anita :)

What a beautiful result you got here Bobby. Funny I tried that technique yesterday for the first time. Both cards are just gorgeous and so colourful.
Bright, beautiful flowers, Bobby! I especially love the second card! That sentiment is awesome and the flowers are perfect framed!
