As we all know, April's showers bring May's flowers. So grab your brayer, 2-4 co-ordinating stamp pads, and join me as we make a May flowers magically appear on a background using the serigraph technique. My requirement is that you use flowers on your background. You may otherwise finish your card as you please. This is really a fun technique. Hope to see you there!

~ White c/s
~ Brayer
~ 2-4 co-ordinating ink pads, light to dark
~ White Craft ink or Versamark
~ Embossing buddy - IMPORTANT
~ White embossing powder
~ Heat gun
~ Flower stamps, solid or outline
Step 1 - Ink brayer in lightest color, apply to c/s, leaving white areas
Step 2 - Repet w/ next lightest color, leaving white areas
Step 3 - Repeat using 3rd color (optional)
Step 4 - Use embossing buddy over entire piece of c/s
Step 4 - Stamp your flowers in White or Versamark in random fashion
Step 5 - Apply white embossing powder & emboss images
Step 6 - Brayer w/ dark color, buff color off white images
Step 7 - Stamp some images in this same dark color
Step 8 - Finish your card as desired

I think I'll sit this one out and try it sometime when I don't feel pressured. There is no way on earth that I could do that in 45 minutes ... or 3 hours for that matter. Sounds like fun though.

Thanks Patty and Karen. Love to try a new technique! I can't see the sample though. Is it just me?

Um, what is you are afraid of your brayer? I mean, in my hands, the brayer only makes a mess!
I am sure it would be a beautiful mess though! Bite the bullet Toni and go for it!

Oh my this is so easy to do. It allows you to be messy w/ your brayer. Try it, I'm sure you'll have fun.

oh my...I've never even heard of this....but will think on it as I mow the next section...it's so freakin hot here that I have to come in occ for cool down....so am checking challenges as I go...and thinking of a plan as I mow....great way to keep my mind off the heat....
Yes, yes, I've finally managed to drag myself out of bed to join you - LOL!!!! I was up until 4am making cards for challenges - the things I do for my habit, I mean art!!!!!
Hi Tracy - great to see a fellow Aussie on here!!!
Hi Patty and Carole - haven't spoken to you two in ages!!!
And my dear friend Robyn - I'm feeling great, other than being a little tired!!!!
I love this challenge by the way - something I hadn't done before. I'm just uploading my pic's now!! Although it's daytime here, it's very overcast and rainy. Tracy - I saw on the news last night that NSW is looking to get some nasty weather over the weekend. How is it where you are?
I am having problems keeping both threads open. Duh!
I have never used my brayer yet. It is a tiny bit spongy. Will baby wipes clean it? If not, does anyone know what will? We only have anti-bacterrial foam soap here.
Thanks!
Traci S.
I should have prayed before I started tonight. Anyone wants to join in...go for it.
This certainly looks like a challenging challenge, but maybe I'll give it a whirl.
I did have a question-I actually read all of the directions in the master thread (I know, weird, huh?). When it says cannot be combined with any challenge, does that mean we cannot combine VSN challenges or we can't use, say, the Mojo Monday sketch when making a card?
Oh, and reading the instructions is NOT weird! LOL

If you want your entry to be considered for the Puddle Jumpers Honors, you can not submit your card for more than 1 VSN Challenge. If you combine two VSN Challenges on one card, you have to decide which challenge you want to post it in. You can definatley use the Mojo Monday sketch with the VSN Challenge.

Thanks! That's what I thought, but just wanted to check.
Peggy: Nice job
Cav: Glad to hear you are better. How is the precious Maggie?
Thanks Robyn - Maggie is doing fine!!! I'm sure she'll be joining me in the craftroom at some point over the weekend. After all, Darth Tater is her toy!!!!!
How's things with you GF? And how are those twins going? I was thinking of you this morning when I was working on a card as I have a friend who is expecting twins in November.
