zindorf rocks!

I was playing with my new brayer that I bought after being super-inspired by the super talented Michelle Zindorf, boy can she brayer! Anyway-was inspired, bought a brayer, had a play & created this card (it's pretty much a total CASE from one of Michelle's but I'm still happy with it!) I liked it so much I decided I would do 6 of them for a swap that I'm doing over at ESAD for UnConvention : ) After I had made my cards, I saw the new challenge on the Just Add Ink blog, they are doing a technique blog hop-lots of talent to check out there too-one of the techniques they are blogging & hopping about is ...wait for it...brayering!! So long story short here's my entry to the JAI challenge...



I have brayered the scene on whisper white, matted on baja breeze & matted again on very vanilla. The roughed up strip of always artichoke kinda hangs out the side for a bit of texture. I have used Baja breeze & Pacific point inks for the sky & water and always artichoke for the stems (1st & 2nd generation stamping). The wording "it's good to dream" stands out a lot more in the real, I should have waited for better light in the morning, but I wanted to get the pic taken & uploaded so I can get my swaps sent off!

If you're in the ESAD swap & get one of these, act surprised, like you've never seen it before!!

Thanks for checking out my card, leave me a note so I can check out your stuff too ; )

P.S I LOVE BRAYERING NOW! : )

    These are a few of my favourite things - Pocket Silhouettes, a moon on a brayered sky, the colour blue!!! This is so beautiful. Love how you have mastered the brayer!
