Here is my card for the TLC378 Brayer Challenge. I'm not sure that I followed the directions correctly, I did the whole background not just one element. Oops, hope it's still okay.
My brayering (is that a word??) skills need a bit of work. For some reason I have trouble with lines along the roller edge.
Started by heat embossing the image and then rolled the brayer over the background to add some color. I also heat embossed the sentiment with VersaMark and Not Quite Navy ink.

Beautiful card. Love the "island" on the horizon. Terrific look.
Thanks for sharing.
ETA: I've been told that the lines on the rubber brayer is from laying the rubber down when storing your brayer. I was told to always lay the brayer on its handle--not the rubber part.
