All is calm under a brusho sky

I have painted quite a few expansive coloured skies lately. On Saturday I taught the last of my Merry & Bright class which included a bister night sky over a die cut tiny town. As I demonstrated the technique all of my skies were different and class participants also created unique and beautiful skies. Today’s card is similar in layout to the class card but instead of bister I used brusho and instead of die cutting I painted the little street with the help of a stamp from the ‘Gleeful’ set. I stamped the town first in versafine vintage sepia then added brusho and water to the sky area. I didn’t need to use much because the powder is so potent. I blended the blue and green with a brush and painted right up to the roof tops then let it dry. I used brown, blue, green and yellow brusho to paint the buildings and trees then finished the foreground with black brusho which separates into several colours. I added a tiny sentiment in versafine onyx black, removed the masking fluid to reveal stars then matted with a couple of co-ordinating colours.
Thanks for dropping by; I hope you have a great week.

A beautiful scene, Heather! Such a richly colored sky and I love the painted buildings!
Your skies have really been magnificent, Heather, and you’ve transformed them into gorgeous cards! If we truly had skies like that all the time, none of us would ever sleep!! Hugs, Darnell
This is LOVELY! The little glowing village is even more charming than the one in class.
Heather this is incredible. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. Ohhhh I could sit here all evening and look at this.
I was browsing your site looking for a galaxy sky and when I looked at this card, did you notice it looks like a bird.s face looking out of the sky? Two eyes, beak etc! Beautiful cad, I love your style.
Thanks for taking the time to leave me a message; I’m glad you like the card. I think I can see the bird one second then I cant!
