*"Brusho" is a brand name of a popular high-quality watercolor pigment powder made by Colourcraft in England but there are lots of brands available and they all work much the same way. I will be using Brusho, Ken Oliver Color Bust, Magenta Nuance, Cosmic Shimmer and Paper Artsy Infusions together on these projects. You can even use an inexpensive tye-dye kit to get a similar effect if you find these powders hard to come by. I prefer the colors that have different color crystals in each mix as they yield the most beautiful and interesting effects like the Paper Artsy Infusions: topflightstamps.com/search?q=...
**Although these are called "watercolor pigment powders" they are more like ink, dye-based which is to say they are more prone to fading than professional watercolor. They are plenty robust to last on your cards and sketchbooks tho!

I love that when you review a product, you give us so many techniques. No one else does that. Thank you for spending so much time so we can make an informed purchase!

this is awesome every one of them looks so pretty and lovely thank you Lindsay for sharing this❤😊👍👌
Funny coincidence... I have the top flight app on my phone. I couldn't fall asleep last night, so I started scrolling through it and I stumbled upon the infusion! And I put several in my basket.I fell in LOVE! I never did place the order, it's pretty big! I feel like karma stepped in... And now I can use your discount! I went a little, you went a little! Winner, winner, chicken dinner
Nice!
I loved the one that looked like rocks with black texture paste!
Such fun, Lindsay! A new technique for me is applying embossing ink to the stamp followed by a sprinkle of powder on the stamp, and off we go. Will be trying that, thanks!
I love Infusions... I own every single color... I love that you can mix them with other brands... awesome creations. great ideas, thanks.
Thanks Lindsay. Fun to watch. Hats off to all you print makers. I just can't comprehend how to do this by just watching. Mine would be all mud. Lol.
Oh, I've made mud too, just play through the mud and once you come out on the other side it will be beautiful!
That's fun stuff for sure! I love playing with powders (and distress oxides) to create backgrounds, using stencils and resist embossing techniques. I love the mosaic stencil look and that giraffe, with his head always above the clouds, is so cute!
The powders are great fun! Thanks Lindsay.😄
I hadn't thought of using the powders like that with a stamp. Very cool technique. I love the Nuvo shimmer powders. I have one Ken Oliver, too.
Thank you so much Lindsay, I’ve really really enjoyed watching you experiment with the water colour pigments. Some of the effects you got were stunning and gorgeous too. Thank you to for taking the time and effort to make this video for us all. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags
I just ordered 9 of the, Infusions brand! I adore these pigments and will be using them a LOT! THANK YOU for telling us about a more frugal option 😊 I enjoy the multi colors above all!
You are so welcome!
Beautiful! Love the results!
Thank you for sharing so many techniques! I love watercolor powders, and they were quite affordable to get started in. I started with 1 bottle with multiple colors and got lots of cool veregated looks. Now I'm slowly building my collection!
You have such great ideas, thank you again Lindsay!
I love the way the round stamps turned out!
This looks incredibly fun and I think I am going to try this in the future. The cards you made look interesting and watching you make them was oddly relaxing.
Those cards turned out AMAZING! I've had Ken Oliver pigment powders in my Amazon wish list for forever. Now I want to order them! I'm a big fan of texture paste, I use it a lot in my art journaling and collage.
I love this idea for making backgrounds Lindsay. It looks relaxing and fun at the same time. I especially liked when you used the texture paste. Thanks for sharing your tips and thoughts about the paper used as well. I will definitely be giving this a try!!❤️🌹
i really look foward to your videos. my fave one is the kids make over room video and craft room on a budget one you made for friend.
I loved watching this! Thank you!
Lovely fun backgrounds
Beautiful backgrounds. Fun video.
Really super effects from those powders 😍
They look beautiful, I have a bunch of Brusho powders but haven't been brave enough to try them but after watching you I think I will try them. Thanks for sharing.
So much fun!
I loved the texture paste designs, thank you for all your videos
Love them all!
Loved the paste effect
Hi... I had so much fun watching you play and was already thinking of my own supplies to use. I recently got my Brusho powders out to create subdued gel print backgrounds for cards using Lavinia stamps... now I am ready for this bold look! I love the patterns you made using texture paste and stencils so look forward to trying those techniques. TFS and have a great day! 🙂
Just the right time...🤣I got the 24 set for my Birthday last week...🥰
These are great ideas! I have brushos and look forward to trying these out!
Playing with my brushos and the marion smith color lab powders is fun! I have added shimmer by using perfect pearls in the water, or adding a little iridescent watercolor medium to the wet pigment on the paper.
Great cards Lindsay! Stencils are AMAZING, but I never would have thought of using these with stamps. I also never thought of using them with my almost never used texture paste. Thank you!
You're welcome! I think it would be perfect for a card making machine like you, you can make so many backgrounds in no time!
So interesting! Really fun and pretty!
I have been holding off on buying pigment powders...but this looks so fun!!! I want to try them!!! Thanks again Lindsay! So many great ideas! 😊💐
So nice watercolor work 👍
Loved these techniques. I have a problem with being relaxed and free and letting things happen. Need to practice. You got some amazing results.
I have played with a lot of things but never pigment powders. Watching you videos can be hazardous to my budget but it won't stop me from watching! Thanks for introducing me to another neat technique and set of products!
beautiful backgrounds Lindsay!
Fantastic results - thanks for introducing me to a less expensive powder pigment!
Wow! Thank you for sharing Lindsay! So much fantastic info in one tutorial! Greetings from Australia! :)
Found it and ordered it and some powders using your code. Thanks Lindsey!
I like the texture paste backgrounds best. I've played with texture paste both the expensive art store stuff and the dollar store spackle and caulking, and there really isn't much difference. I've never used the powders with the texture paste, so I'll be trying that soon. Using versamark on a stamp before sprinkling with the powder is genius. Love those backgrounds too.
Hi, thanks for the inspiration. I'm going to try some pastes through stencils with my pixies and brushes. I like the ones with the multicolour pigments too. Rebecca x
Fantastic! 👍👍👍😁
LOL 😄🎨😉 @ blowing your nose and finding orange pigment!!
I love your videos!! I have some Brusho. You have inspired me to get them out!! Thank you for another great video!
Very fun!
Amazing!
Love your techniques. Thank you for showing us how to be messy and fun. I'm going to give this a try. Gotta find the gloves, first.
Thank you as always. I liked them all but was take with the Parisian scene and thinking about stamps I already own with that.
I like your suggestion for texture paste as I always thought that trying this would mean buying something beyond what I could reasonably justify. Would love to give this a go. Thanks.
I dont have any of these powders but they look so fun! I need some
So cooooool :) Great art video
love it
Love these! Xxx
Hi, I have the Brushos but had not used them much until I made them up into sprays with water and a little rubbing alcohol. You only need a tiny amount of powder. The spray will not be multicoloured but the colours are vibrant and beautiful. But I will definitely be trying these techniques with the powders. Many thanks for the great ideas.
I've drooled over pigment powders for a while now. I'll get some eventually. :)
If you use cardstock and can't get it perfectly flat again run it through your die cutting machine. I've even embossed papper, colored it and then embossed it again.
Aw man... now I need watercolor pigment powders 😂
That was such a fun video! Thanks! Will try but I am not an artist like you so my results will be very different! Second time I watched the video.
I really enjoyed seeing how much you played and experimented. I have a winter sleigh stamp with presents and birds, it’s so busy, I don’t really know how to colour it, it just looks bad when I colour everything. Maybe it would look better with a lose style like you did on the Paris scene.
If you disintegrate your paper with water, it would likely still work well as a texture. Just tear up the good parts and use them as a frame or something. This is all pretty. I wonder how much different these water color powders are from the old powder dyes I have....
Its similar to fine powder dyed that don't containt salt. For instance rit die doesn't react like this but the fine dye powders in the dye kits work great (the soda ash 8s separate in those dyes so you just get the color) give it a try:)
@@thefrugalcrafter Thanks for the info. Mine are the Procion dyes I once used for fabric. I might try them.
You can also make texture paste using baby powder white glue and water
Hello from a longtime lurking subscriber! Just wanted to say hi from Oklahoma, and tell you that I always enjoy your videos. Your energy and passion are infectious and you've often helped me emerge from a crafty rut. Thanks for everything!
Aww, thanks!
Just go to the dollar tree and buy some calk. Were all a little crazy its not a competition. Love your humor.
Your nails are great. Did your daughter do them again. I just got my order of Accent Opague cardstock based on your recommendation and I thrilled with it. The price is great and it stamps like a dream. Just the right weight.
She did! Thanks! I'm glad you like the paper but I didnt recommend it, it was Mary Polonco (not sure on the spelling) I think because I bought some after watching her comparison and it was on sale:)
@@thefrugalcrafter Thanks for the correction. I watch both of you and thought it was. I will have to let Mary know. Have a blessed day.
My faves were all the ones with texture paste! Those really came out super nice. Have you seen the new Pink Ink stamp and die sets? They had 5 different ones at Top Flight and I bought them all...Lol! Thanks for this great video.
I haven't seen them yet, I'll have to look!
to lift colour of the page in a pattern colour the page and let it dry then with a stencil you can remove colour with bleach on a sponge.... the more colour you put down first the greater the contrast will be then you lift the colour of with the bleach. tfs
Thanks for the tip! I never would have thought of that;)
These are gorgeous! I think my favorite are the mosaic looking with texture paste. Any way to know how much gum arabic to add to mica powder?
You can get a powdered gum Arabic for this. Maybe 1cpart gum Arabic to 4 parts mica.
Whenever you kept saying just keep playing I thought of Dory just keep swimming, just keep swimming lol
Yes!
Looks like SO MUCH FUN. What do you do with all those backgrounds?
Use them for handmade greeting cards.
If you stamp over the printed message, you can lift with paper towel???
I have some ken olivers and have used them but I will give it a try!! Should you use only red rubber stamps? Thanks for sharing!!
It dosnt matter, any kind should work:)
I really like the way the pebbled/rock background came out. I don’t have watercolor pigment powder but do have some perfect pearls. Would these be the ones you add Gum Arabic to and if yes, how much and where would I find Gum Arabic? Thanks Lindsay!
They already have fun arabic in them so you are good to go:)
Thank you!
Cool effect with stencils. Will this work with nuvo shimmer powders? Thanks Lindsay.
I dont have those so I cant say for sure but I dont see why not.
What stamp is that Paris rooftop scene? I love that!
It's by katzelkraft, there are a couple similar ones brand new, click the link to Stamos in the description to see them all!
Gosh Lindsay, I’ve never seen you with color on your nails. Very pretty.
I was wondering, I have some heavy gesso, would that work as a texture paste over stencils?
It should:)
I really like the texture paste with the mozaic swirls stencil. i did a quick search and could not find it. Do you know if it is still available and where? I have some brushos and haven't played with them in a long time. Once again I am on it!
I'm not sure, stampendous now owns Dreamweaver stencils so you could try their website.
So, I drilled holes in some old ink jet cartridges and got the coloured powder out. I mixed it with alcohol, and spread it around on a page. Once it dried, the powder had just turned back into powder. Any ideas on what to mix it with or spray it with to get it to stay put on the page?
Please be careful, if it is a powder it might be toner and not ink. Ink jet cartridges use liquid ink
OH my goodness, yes it was a laser toner cartridge!
I love ❤️ messy!!! These look like a lot of fun!! Could you please spell the name of the stamp company? Is it Tinsel Craft? Thank you Lindsay 🥰
Katzelkraft
Katzelkraft and I linked yo their Stamos in the description, they are so unique!
I have mica powders, no gum Arabic though, is there anything else I can use?
Seal it with hairspray when you are done.
i use these in my doll house i made i am re making it new box's.
🖤👏👏👏
Where to do get your stencils?
Everywhere! Topflight has great ones, I also like the crafters workshop. I buy them at the craft store too. I've been building my stash for years lol!
Are you at all worried that the undissolved crystals will bleed if moistened by hands/water or drop onto a surface and reactivate?
Not really, the papers get pretty soaked. I haven't had a problem handling the cards afterward but you could use final fixative if you were worried.
Brusho is actually ink based.
Say "water color pigment powders" 3 times fast!
Looks so messy! I am freaking out
I love it though
