This was a technique card, as it includes at least two techniques. I'm happy with the reflection technique. I'm unhappy with the brayer / embossing technique portion. In hindsight, I should have taken my Versamarker and more clear EP and then embossed the head of the ca-ute deer a bit more to resist the ink from the brayering. Isn't hindsight wonderful? LOL. Thus, why it says "Tommorow is another day." ;-) I made this into a card; however, it doubt I will send it as I don't feel it reflects my best work in a "card to send". However, it has been a great lesson / learning experience! So, it will make it's place in my art journal, with my notes. It was fun. Frustrating, but fun. I do love the brayering! Those Kaleidacolor ink pads are da-bomb!

That's what it's about - learning! But your card is beautiful - I don't see why you should be frustrated at all! Love the vibrant colors and how subtle that sweet deer is. The pop of red is also genius! Thank you so much for playing in my challenge!

This is wonderful! I wasn't brave enough to try embossing something and then brayering over it - your brayering is SO MUCH better than mine. That's why I stick to sponging - my brayering skills are horrid. :-)
