I just had to play with my new brayer some more. I brayered my sky. I stamped and paper pieced the little girl. I matted the images with a brown paper bag. This is also for my friend Kelly's Word Of the Week. This week the word is IMPEARL. (To form into pearls.) I took her kind of litteraly. I used hot glue and nail polish to form into pearls. I added a ribbon to finish it off.

I cant believe you've just gotten a brayer. Yesterday's card and today's, too, are magnificent. To be able to brayer this well in such a short time is beyond me, MariLynn. this card is gorgeous.

Love the paper pieced dress! And, your sky is gorgeous! Maybe you could start marketing those pearls you made! They look great!

WOW!! Yesterday's beauty and today another. You've got a new technique and a new style. Very beautiful soft sky!! I also really like how you paper pieced the girl's dress - it really helps to establish the foreground and bg. What a beautiful card!!

Wow - I really like this. I had a brayer years ago and I am going to have to either find it or get another because this is great. Fingernail polish? Wow - you could paint your nails and your card - how cool is that! I saw your comment about withdrawals today - I have had them too - I hope they get the bugs worked out soon but I am also glad they are upgrading.
