I applied purple and blue ink using the bryer. I didn't want the inks to saturate the paper completely. If you notice, there are areas lighter than others. I was hoping it would give the impression the moon is shinning through. Did you get that impression? I stamped the card with one of the stamps I purchased at the Ink Pad in NYC a couple weeks ago. I embossed the stars with gold pigment ink and gold embossing powders and finished the stars off with a little stickle. A little stickle makes everything better. Don't you think? That really made the stars twinkle. I'm not sure whether the camera captured that or not. but, it was the Eskimo saying that made the card POP (just like that). I think instead of just leaving the standard sympathic words for the bereaved, this message left a little more--hope.

Lorie, oooo, that brayer. Makes me shiver! (I shall never touch one again! lol) However, what you did with it is magic! Your sentiment touched me and made me smile. It is good to give one another hope. What greater gift, than the reason we have this hope!

This sentiment is very special and your brayering is wonderful (I am signed up for the Zindorf class in September in Alabama and can't wait to learn). The feel of this card is so cool! You have talent girl!
