Well,I tried once before to post an explanation of the technique, but I must have forgotten to press the submit button cause it's not here. Thanks for all you kind remarks - warm fuzzies. This technique uses glossy cs and post it notes in 3 sizes. (Note: you can cut them down to make smaller sizes.) Start by laying 3 of the smallest size post its on the cs. Some of them can hang off the edges. Next layer two that are a little larger and then one bigger one. These can overlap one another. You should have some spaces on the card that are not covered. You pick three values of the same color family or colors that will blend ok. Brayer the darkest color first. Remove the large post it note. Brayer with the next lighter color. Remove the middles sized post it notes. Brayer with the light color and the then remove the remaining post it notes. This leaves white spaces on the card. You can either leave them as is or brayer again lightly with the lightest color. Stamp and embellish as desired. I will try and post on more example of this today. This technique is easier then it sounds. Hope this helps. - Kathy
