Brayered More Mustard ink starting at the top of a 3″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Used a 2 1/2″ Circle punched from a Post it Note to mask my sun area.

Brayered Cajun Craze ink starting at the top of the card stock.

Brayered Cherry Cobbler ink at the top of the card stock.

Stamped the flowers 3 times using Basic Black ink.

Sponged on the stencil using Cajun Craze ink.

Sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock using a pouncing motion.

Edged the main image panel using a Gold Sharpie Paint Marker.

Added Rhinestones to the center of the flowers.

Cut a Basic Gray 4.75″ x 6.25″ card stock panel and Sponged the stencil in the top right and lower right corners using Basic Black ink.

Added a 3 1/8″ x 5 1/8″ Basic Black panel.

Added a short piece of ribbon folded in half with the top edge cut in a “V”.  Wrapped it around the edge of panels.

Added a Rhinestone to the ribbon.

Added a 5″ x 6.5″ Basic Black Panel.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May your day be filled with fun and laughter.

Until my next post. . . . . … . . . .

    I love this card. I would love to know how you pull the color down more in the middle with your brayer. I just can’t seem to get mine to do that. Would love to go to one of your brayering classes sometime but don’t think that will ever happen 😦 Maybe sometime you can post a video. Hint hint 🙂
