This is a thank you card to my in-laws for an invite to vacation in Kauai with them. It is a CASE of a Zindorf scene with a little twist. This is the link to Zindorf post on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/346284658824392500/

After sponging and brayering the sky, ocean and land, I stamped the foliage in Memento Black and hilighted with White gel pen. I stamped the flower from Peaceful Petals in Memento Black on the vellum (heat set or wait a long time to dry because it smears easily!). Then fixed the vellum over the beach scene with brads and mounted with white, and then espresso embossed with square lattice EF.

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.
