Burst of Brusho

Upon first glance of the Spring Occasions Catalog, one of the items I knew I wanted to have was the Brusho Crystals. Many of you may know these watercolor ink crystals as Bister or Colorburst... but with my base knowledge and what I have seen on You Tube, it looks like it does about the same thing. I wanted to dabble with this fun product upon first glance, but at the time Tim Holtz just released his Distress Oxides and I wanted to learn those first. 

The great thing about Brusho being part of the Stampin Up Spring release is that I can buy them to learn with before I share my experience with my customers. Even with the limited colors in this five piece set, you can mix the crystals to make new colors... all you need is basic knowledge of the color wheel. I found this medium easier to work with than the colored pencils, especially for beginner watercoloring.
