Beate’s Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #6

Published by rainy at 6:30 am under Beate's Inspiration Challenges, Cards, Cards SUO

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

    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!

    This is one fabulous, gorgeous card, Susan! I’m so glad you shared! Have fun on Spring Break!!

    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!

    I think you have the brayer down this card is gorgeous!!!

  13. # Jennon 25 Mar 2008 at 11:49 am
