This is my first attempt at a Brayered sky with my new brayer. What do you think? I tried to follow the tutorials from Michelle Zindorf at Freedom in Creating. If you have not checked her out, you should! She is amazing!!! She has a tutorial for each card she creates!
I also use Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge SC189 for the layout!
This was really fun and I look forward to trying this technique again! I used the Bronc Buster stamp set. I used blue bayou, whisper white, and basic black card stock. For inks, I used basic black, soft sky, and blue bayou.
I first stamped the cowboy and horse stamp and embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then punched out a circle from scrap paper with my 1 3/8 circle punch and attached it with my 2-way glue pen to create the moon. I waited until the glue was clear so that I would be able to take off the scrap when I was done and it would leave a white circle. Anyway...then I used the brayer starting off with soft sky and then adding the blue bayou to the top. I also ripped some scraps to create the ground and then used the brayer with basic black. I sponged the edges all round the picture. I think I got a little carried away with sponging around the dust area. :O) Then I layered it onto the other card stock! I ran the edges of the card in the basic black for another element!
So what do you think? This was really fun!!! I am going to have to try it again!!!
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a very creative day!!!
