Dream - CC187

Happy Friday!! :)

Here is the card I made for CC187. These colors are so pretty together! I am excited to finally get some ink on my new stampscapes stamps! This is another brayered background (one of my fav techniques!)

Technique: I brayered on So Saffron on the top part with the bottom part masked off. I then masked off the sun using a circle punched out and layered Tangerine Tango. I removed the bottom mask and brayered on KK. I then stamped the images and sponged CC around the edges of the card. I then stamped the sentiment.

Recipe: Stamps - Stampscapes (palm stalks, palm leaves, 'Dream' - Technique Tuesday; Paper - Whisper White, Choc Chip, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango; Ink - So Saffron, Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, Choc Chip; Misc - brayer, circle punch, sponges

Brayered Essence

Here is another brayered background!! I LOVE this technique, so you will probably see a lot more of these coming down the pike. :) I made this card for a swap with some friends.

Supplies: Stamps: Essence of Love; CS: Whisper White, Black, So Saffron; Ink: So Saffron, More Mustard, Really Rust, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Black; Misc: Word Window & Lg. Oval Punch, Apricot Appeal Ribbon, brayer, Pop Dots, Sponges

Technique: On WW CS, I tore the edge of a post-it-note and used it to create a mask towards the bottom of the panel. I then started brayering SS on the top half and then layered MM above it. I then sponged RR towards the top. I took off the mask and then sponged CC and OO on the bottom section. I then stamped the flowers using black ink after I let everything dry a bit. I heat set the black ink - it did not dry right away. I sponged both punched pieces. I also punched the card base with SS to make the color more rich.

TFL!

My 1st Brayered Background!!

I totally cased this one (can't remember from who right now) and I LOVE how it turned out!

I started out by brayering whisper white with barely banana and pretty in pink. Next, I layered the top with purely pomegranate and then sponged it to blend it. On the bottom, I brayered certainly celery and old olive and sponged OO to blend. Lastly, I stamped using the Essence of Love in black.

Here is the tutorial for the brayered background:
