For today's TLC to brayer card and then use it to create elements for our card. A quick one, because I was out all day, but since brayering is a stretch for me I wanted to give it a go .
I used a ColorBox Paintbox pad, using two yellows and an orange for the flowers, and two greens and an aqua for the foliage. Foliage is a Spellbinders die, flowers are a daisy punch and a stamen punch, with pearls in the centre.
Background is a failed attempt at acrylic resist from WT371 - either my white paint didn't resist properly or the colours I used to mist it weren't strong enough. But embossed with the TH Brick Wall folder it made a great distressed background for my bright bouquet.
Thanks for such a fun challenge, Joan - I might get my brayer out more often after this.

I agree with Irene, a painted brick wall or even a really distressed one. Either way it does look awesome!!! Your flowers and leaves really do "pop" against it! LOVE that cute little ladybug too!!! Wonderful card!!!
