      Hi Krista! The brush was easy to clean with soap and water. And Carly recommends air drying.

    Carly, thank you for the great video! I have 2 jars of Nuvo Mousse & I’m going to try a blending brush like you used to put it on. What a good tip! Your cards are lovely! I also appreciated the tip of using double sided tape to put foil on. I don’t have a hot foil machine. Thanks again & happy crafting to you as well.
