I've recently been having a play with Brushos again and the results I get really are very mixed!
Anyway I had two small pieces lying in a pile of scaps on my desk and yesterday afternoon decided to use them up.
I rounded the corners and black embossed the flower stems then using the same Paper Artsy set stamped and layered up the flower heads.
The black pieces were also scraps which I embossed and the sentiment is from an Inky Doodles set.
After sticking all the pieces to the white cards I realised I'd got a smudge of red ink on the bottom of one card. After just a few expletives and not to be beaten I rounded the corners of the card and added a blush of red around the edge to cover up the smudge.
It's our monthly craft club this evening so I look forward to seeing what we'll be making.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

Two great makes with those brushos...I really must get mine out! Good save on the red mark too! Update on the paper trimmer...I bought a Cutterpillar Crop from C&C...not cheap but so far impressed! Enjoy your craft club!!
Hi Barb,
what super cards made with your snippets.
Those flowers are gorgeous, and lovely and bright, and brusho backgrounds are fab.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Glad it isn't just me that gets mixed results with Brusho!! These are great and a clever 'cover-up' on one of them - good job there are ways of covering the odd smudge, I get them as well.
Think we've all made those kind of "mistakes" and well done on your chosen "save" - good call too - super makes

Very pretty Barb and you would never notice the red smudge was there. I am always getting ink from my mat or my fingers where I don't want it, and I hope the recipients don't turn the card over too much as there is quite often an ink mark on the back..lol. x
These are gorgeous, Barb! Brushos look like a lot of fun to play with! Love the pop of red with the flower! Thanks for your kind words on my new blog header - hardly anyone has noticed!
Looks great Barb, well done.

Super inky fun Barb, I so love Brushos as each time it's different and there are never any mistakes and both of today's shares are lovely with the bold red flower.

Those red flowers are very eye catching and I like the background too. Great save with the red edges. Enjoy your evening at the crafting club.

These are lovely Barb. I've lost count of the amount of cards that I've needed to change after smudging at the last minute :). The flowers are very pretty. Sandra X
Beautiful cards again.

So beautiful cards with your brushos scraps and the pretty double flowers, clever idea! So clever add a marker border to cover a mistake, too!
Great makes and braver than me on trying brushos, wouldn't know where to start. great background and love the flower and a great way to cover the smudge.

The brusho backgrounds are lovely, and I like the way you've used the bright pop of the bloom with the dark leaves. That's what is so fun with brusho-s, you just never know what the results will be. But they are always pretty (well, of course, unless you create mud!) TFS & Hugs
Love these bright, vibrant flowers on the Brusho backgrounds!
Beautiful backgrounds Barb the flowers look lovely against them
2 beautiful creations, Barb.Love the very pretty flowers.
Hugs, Sylvia x
Hi Barb....Love the brusho backgrounds...show of the flowers beautifully....Joolsx
wow, both are so lovely,I love the background.
Two very pretty floral cards. I haven't used Brushos but they look great for making backgrounds and such.
Well saved, no one would know and they look perfect with rounded corners. I get inky smudges so often!
These are so pretty and I love your backgrounds! I'm just starting with Brushos and have had mixed results so far.
Two great cards Barb, loving the floral element and buttons.
Hugs Erika. x

What a pretty duo of birthday cards. I just love those brusho backgrounds too!
Two lovely cards Barb, and a very happy accident!

Two beautiful cards, love the brusho backgrounds.

Your Brushos colors are rather muted. I'm using to seeing them very vivid. However, muted works well for your cards because then that flower blossom can be vivid and pop.
These are just darling, Barb! Love the buttons in the flower centers!
Lol... I know the feeling! Brusho have a mind of their own, that's for sure.
Love your beautiful red flowers. X
