Today's Ways to Use it challenge is to use trees, in honor of Arbor Day. I've had an image floating in my head for several weeks, since I've been getting up in the dark to drive to bicycle races. I've seen some beautiful sunrises on the road, and one day, in particular, the pinkish/purple colors through the trees were breathtaking. I've been wanting to try to capture that on a card.
The colors here were sponged. I'm going to try brayering next, to see if I can get them to blend a little better.

For you the brayered version may capture more what you had in your mind, but I love the soft misty early morning feel of this one. I'm glsd you have that little compensation for the early starts!

This one is gorgeous too! Like you, the brayered one is my favorite, maybe because we admire that which we can't do? Anyway, I'm glad you shared them both!
