Day three in the 24 Tags of Christmas week brings none other than Brusho – watercolor powders! If you want more info on the powders, there’s a playlist HERE.
Brusho Lights
These tags are super easy to make – and your kids could make a lot of ornaments you can use for your holiday cards, too! The String of Lights dies are really sweet, and the watercolor powders add a strong pop of color and an artsy feel. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.
I was so surprised to find that using a little brusho on a bag – a bag with a plastic coating, no less – worked! You need to be gentle with water, but it’s really pretty!
You can see all the tags from all years in the 24 Tags of Christmas Gallery!

Looks like fun I want to try this with my Color Bursts.
Fabulous idea. So creative and, of course, colorful. I have the Brushos and haven’t had the guts to get “messy”. The results are so amazing and fun. I will try them and have some messy fun. Thanks so much.

Love these. I’ve been thinking about using my Brushos in combination with my SSS ornament dies, and your pretty lights have made me even more determined to do so. Thanks for the inspiration and incentive!
Who doesn’t love the bright vibrant colors? Beautifully! Thanks for sharing
I’ve never quite known what to do with Brusho, but with your great tutorial I now know. Thank you!
These are great!
Love the look Brusho gives the lights! Must try this!
Love them, I will have to dust off my brusho collection and give it a try
I have a big unopened container of white bags from my mini album creating days. PERFECT for using the powders as you have shown. I love to make a “gaggle of gifts” for my co-workers and decorate them in unusual ways. They look forward to seeing what I come up with each year and this time I can say – go to Sandy’s blog!
just love these!
wow, those lights really pop. Love the colors . They look like glass . Do not have any Ken Oliver but
looks like I might have to check into it now that I see the finished results. Lovely.
WOW!!!! I am going to have to buy some of the Brusho’s! They look like so much fun and your tags are so beautiful!!
Oh WOW!!! These are just amazing. My favorites so far. Thank you for this wonderful idea. I could not even begin to pick a favorite color. (I thought I had a favorite until you got to the end, but then they were all too cool!) Thank you SO much!
I just love your creativity!
The colors are really vibrant and happy. Great job on this year’s series!
Beautiful and stunning.
Brusho looks like so much fun. The light bulbs are beautiful.

I have a set of Ken Oliver’s. You’ve really inspired me to try this idea. Thank you!
OMG – in the photos, these lights look just like glass – great project! I’ve had this die set sitting on my craft table for weeks, waiting for some inspiration – now I know what to do with it!
Thanks & keep doing what you do!
How long does it take you to dream up your designs for each project? I’d be sitting there for 3 days trying to conjure up an idea…
