Beate’s Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #6
For her inspiration piece this week, Beate has chosen this skirt from Coldwater Creek.
I have been trying to learn to brayer. When I saw this beautiful skirt I knew another brayered card was soon going to be attemped.
And I finally used my Build a Brad Kit. Nothing fancy.. just a plain piece of Taken With Teal card stock. But I love it. How cool to be able to match any card stock or color perfectly by making your own accessory with it.
Beate I LOVED this week’s inspiration piece. You pick ‘em good! I hope to be seeing a lot more of these colors in the next little bit as I’m headed off to Mexico for Spring Break. Will catch everyone on the other side! 
Stamps: Essence of Love, Infinite Goodness
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Taken With Teal
Ink: Taken With Teal, Cool Caribbean, Barely Banana, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Jet Black Stazon
Accessories: Build a Brad (Pewter), GG Ribbon
This is a beautiful card. You really captured the colors!

Susan, I am cracking up! We used the same set and the same colors! I LOVE your version! Fantastic card!

Susan, I just read your post! LOVE that brad! You are so smart. Never even thought about just using plain colored cardstock in there for a gorgeous big matching brad. You rock! Hugs and smiles

LOve it- you rocked this challenge- especially cuz you used the same set and colors as Beate (Rock Star) - but I love how different they are!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this card. The braying makes it feel like watercolor! You are soooo good! I looked at the other beautiful cards for this challenge and yours is my FAV. You rock!! You should frame it and put it on your wall, it’s art! Better yet put it on MY wall. (GRIN)
I was looking in a book on painting with acrylics and they showed using a brayer to lay down paint. You may have to teach that lesson!

Beautiful card! I love this stamp. I think it might be one of my new favorites! I just pulled it out and inked it up last week, but yours is much better executed. I love this inspiration piece. You did a great job brayering! Fabulous!

Oh my gosh Susan, this is just so incredibly gorgeous! Beate chose an awesome skirt, and you’ve made it come alive! Your brayering is perfect! I’ve yet to try this techinque. I just watercolored some magnolias and the colors I chose for the leaves go perfectly with this background. Awesome, awesome, awesome card!
