'Hugs' card made with Bister.





The Colour Me! challenge for this week is Mossy Meadow and neutral.
I've used Green Bister powder to create the background for this card. I just sprinkled bister on watercolour paper and sprayed it with a mini mister and water.  The flower is made with the good old Tim Holtz Tattered Flower die. I bought that die for many years now, and still using it. The money payed for this die is well-spent. I finished it off  with some enamel dots.

De achtergrond voor mijn kaart heb ik gemaakt met groene Bister. Ik heb een beetje groene Bister op aquarellpapier gestrooid en heb er daarna water op ge-sprayed  met een mini mister. De bloem is gemaakt met de goeie ouwe Tim Holtz Alterations Tattered Flower die. Deze die heb ik vele jaren geleden gekocht en ik gebruik hem nog steeds. Het geld dat ik heb betaald voor deze die is goed besteed. Ik heb de kaart afgemaakt met wat enamel dots.

Supplies:
  • Dies: Tim Holtz Alterations Tattered Florals, Lawn Fawn Scripted Hugs, Lawn Fawn Rectangle Dies
  • Ink: Bister Green
  • Paper: Crafter's Companion Neenah Classic Crest card, Vellum, Bazzill white cardstock 
  • Adhesive: Permanent glue runner; foam tape;
  • Embellishments: Brad from my stash, Hug Snug seam binding, Eyelet Outlet and Brads enamel dots


I'm privileged to work with a team of talented ladies, take a peek at their blog's.

      You can make a few different flowers with this die and it even cuts cardboard.

  5. I have never heard of Bister before, but it looks really nice on your card! The darker background makes the flower really pop out!

    1. Hi LInda,
      Bister is a natural dye from the nut husk and is mainly used for coloring wood. It is supplied in dry form.

  6. This is really pretty! I love the background and all the embellishment used. I have never had large flower die as I never thought I would use it, but I think it is actually a good die to have! Thank you for sharing your work, Antonia. :)
