So...I looked under the Bath Mat this morning. And what do you know? This brand new set was there with several others from the new release of Gina K. Designs...That Speedy the Cat! He's a GENIUS!
By the way...I'm also VERY lazy, unlike Michelle Z.... I decided that I was going to just use re-inkers on an UNINKED Spectrum Pad to make my background....(Michelle usually uses whole pads and brayers colors using multiple steps, including embossing and the results are stunning!...Not me...Too LAZY! LOL!)
So...I OVER inked the 5 pads of the Spectrum pad with Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore, Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal and Ruby Red. Next, I ran the brayer over the Spectrum pad (I left the pads separated!) The colors run together this way, and make a great blend!(This only works with OVER-saturated pads!)
I stamped various areas in Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink! WOW! This stuff is awesome and dries fast, and is DARKER than any StazON I've ever used!

I am so glad you were finally able to get this to upload correctly. I was getting that dreaded red X. The wait was worth it though. This is just lovely. Love your Zindorf-inspired brayered sky (sort of).

Ah, Faith - they didn't stand a chance (Frank Lloyd and Zindorf - with all due respect for the genius of them both) - you always manage to put your own spin on things! Beautiful, as always! The colors are incredible, and the layered panels are VERY creative! TFS!

Wow Faith! This is so fantastic. The sun is shining outside and inside my screen with this bright orange brayered background. That Zindorfee look to it. Great take on the challenge and thank you so much for sharing. Oh forgot to say, love the stamps and Hi Faith!
