I haven't used my brayer in quite a while, so I'm glad I finally decided to use it with some nature stamps on this card. There are so many cardmaking techniques you can do with it!
This card uses just basic brayering, layering the blue Stampin' Up! ink for the sky, and masking the mountains before applying the browns. I also sponged some More Mustard along the horizon of the mountain. Garden Green was used for the tree stamps in the foreground.
I think I would like the card more if the greeting were higher, but I was afraid it wouldn't show in the darker part of the sky (the card is showing a little lighter in the picture). Silly me, I forgot I was using the new and improved foam ink pad, and the coverage is spectacular! Oh, well, next time I'll know.
I bet you'll never guess what stamp set I used on this card. You got it, Lovely as a Tree! Are you sick of it yet? 🙂
