A card for my husband for Father's Day and another quick card, luckily, as I'd left it so late (I'm so bad)!
Used the brayer I bought a while ago and haven't used yet, I was a bit nervous!!! I brayered the sky in weathered wood distress ink, masked with a piece of paper and then did the ground with tea dye ink. I drew in a quick tree line and water coloured with twinkling H2o's which I'd used on the previous card.
I ran the weathered wood inkpad around all the edges of the panel, mounted it on yellow card, doodled dots with a sharpie borrowed from markie's mom's wonderful technique (I've used it twice this week and she's going to be after me! I hope she doesn't mind... again)! This panel was mounted on foam pads above a piece of swirls embossed dark green card and then onto a white card blank finished with more dots. Added rub on letters to finish. TFL

This is totally fabulous, Chris! I cant believe you've never used a brayer before today! wow, when you're good, you're good. This is so fabulous and isnt this #2 for the challenge?
I know I still need to respond to your PM, which I will do shortly. Life just got away from me this week. How's Zack doing with his new fence? Are the neighbors happy about his new found confinement? Love your card Chris.

I was drawn to this card, then when I saw it was yours I knew why. You have made another fabulous card here. Love your brayering work. It says no stamps so that must mean you drew those trees too. Love it. Love the layout and the cb bkgrd. Oh yeah, and those dots really make it all stand out. Great card going on here! TFS :0)
