I wanted to try a brayering technique I saw on Splitcoast so I cased a card by Julie Gearinger and gave it a try.  Mine’s not quite as fancy as her’s – if you remember, I borrowed this set from a friend and time was a’tickin’!  I brayered on Bashful Blue, then Marina Mist and then Tempting Turquoise for the background.  The images are stamped in Midnight Muse.  I had a pretty heavy hand with my brayer and will try this technique again to see if I can get more color variation – but it’s pretty.  Doesn’t the top picture look like the card is going overboard!

On Sunday we had a team meeting and did a shoebox swap.  This is where everyone brings all the supplies ready for us to make their card.  It’s fun!  My friend, Anne, designed this card for the swap.  She’s a beach lover (and I thought of her as soon as I saw this set in the catalog!) 

Supplies

Isn’t it cute?  She’s let me borrow her set this week so hopefully I’ll get to play a bit.  Hugs, Fran
