I was so excited when I saw that Michelle was the featured stamper for Sunday’s challenge. I had been itching to try her brayered backgrounds. I love her work!
Well…I did try the brayering and I think I still have to practise a lot. LOL
I cased this gorgeous card of hers. Make sure to browse her SCS gallery. Be ready to ooohhh and aaahhh and put on a jaw guard so you don’t hurt yourself when it keeps falling down on the table. LOL
I started with a 2 3/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock and first brayered Ballet Blue on the top, the Wild Wasabi on the bottom.
Once it was dry I added the flower from Oh So Lovely all over the cardstock in Black Stazon.
On the Wasabi part, I added another flower to make it look almost like bushes (Plus…Michelle had it on her card, so I NEEDED it). I also added the background stamp from that set all over the Wild Wasabi portion.
Next I colored in the image with Blender pen and Wild Wasabi and Purely Pomegranate reinker. Once that dried I went over it again to add some darker pieces, and used my white watercolor pencil to highlight other pieces.
I punched out the corners with the ticket corner punch and layered it on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Basic Black cardstock. I added a small black photo corner on the top right and placed silver brads it and the other three corners. Then I wrapped double stitched Purely Pomegranate Ribbon around it, tied it in a knot and slipped my tag underneath.
For the tag, I stamped the thank you from Think Happy Thoughts on whisper white cardstock and punched it out with the 1 1/4″ circle punch. I sponged Wild Wasabi all over with a sponge dauber and layered it on a 1 3/8″ black circle. For the center, I stamped the flower in Black Stazon on Whisper white again, punched it out with the 3/4″ circle punch, added Ballet Blue ink all over with a sponge dauber and then colored it in the same way as the main image.

This is so beautiful, Beate. I like your brayering in two colors and I especially love the colors – ballet blue looks wonderful with pomegranate and wasabi. The tags from Think Happy Thoughts are so cute, I love the way you’ve used it here.
This is beautiful. The brayering looks great and adds a lot of dimension to the card. The colors are amazing as always 🙂 Great job!

Speaking of Jaw dropping! I LOVE THIS. What a smart idea to put a little image inside that circle piece. I find myself using that “Think Happy Thoughts” daily! Such a great piece.
