A blog I follow is by Michelle Zindorf, her link is listed below. Michelle has beautiful creations using brayer techniques. Many of you know how much I love my brayer, especially when I use it to apply extra pressure to make sure adhesives stick well. Well, I have wanted to try some of Michelle's ideas out and was inspired to create the above card. Very similar to Michelle's, however, I stamped by tree last with in basic brown. This was a lot of fun! Tonya and I are going to check to see if her brayer workshop coming to MN is still taking registrations...there are always new things to learn!

The Stamping Groove

I got to stamp with Tonya on Sunday! I have been so busy lately and needed to find my stamping groove. I was inspired to create this card after viewing a creation on the blog listed below "My Favorite Things". This is a color combination that I wouldn't have tried; all Stampin' Up! products - paper baja breeze, old olive, whisper white - ribbon old olive - ink baja breeze, old olive.

I had fun with Tonya's new scallop circle die and big shot. The color combination was baja breeze and tangerine tango; again all products are Stampin' Up!

Both cards sure made the day feel like spring was here...the sun was out....and now snow tonight, Yikes!
