Started by stamping the bear and coloring with markers. Masked the bear and stamped trees. Masked off ground level with bear and brayered marina mist, then sponged night of navy and bashful blue. Masked off tree line  and sun, then brayered so saffron, calypso coral, and then melon mambo. Sponged in basic black for hillside; added little grasses along stream edge with black marker. Added a few white lines in water with signo gel pen.

Butterfly Sunset

I used the brayer technique on this card. I first stamped the field flowers and butterfly in black stazon; then stamped the shading part of field flowers in so saffron. I colored the butterfly with markers. Then I used a versamarker to cover the images and embossed them with clear embossing powder. I brayered daffodil delight in bottom left corner at an angle. After masking off the sun with a post it, I brayered from the top right hand corner at an angle: so saffron; then moving up a little and not quite covering all of the so saffron  added calypso coral; then not covering all of the calypso coral added melon mambo; sponged in so saffron on the sun.

• stamps - field flowers, papillon potpourri, itty bitty banners

Wolf Father's Day Card

Another Father's Day card using Nature Silhouettes, Lovely as a Tree, and the brayering technique.
First I masked off the moon and the bottom hill with post it notes. Then I brayered Daffodil Delight just above the hill; masked off the top portion and brayered Calypso Coral just above the Daffodil Delight. Removed the top mask and brayered Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant over that, then Not Quite Navy. Removed the moon mask and sponged a Daffodil Delight. Stamped the background trees in black; removed the bottom hill mask and sponged the hill in with Lucky Limeade and Always Artichoke. Stamped the front trees. Stamped the wolf at the top of the hill; sponged in a little bit of Soft Suede under the hill line and around the bottom edges. Used ticket punch on the top right corner, added word window in Lucky Limeade and Elegant Eggplant; added brads.
I feel accomplished because I have such a hard time making masculine cards : ) Thanks for looking!
