Since that time, I've been reading everything I could about the technique and even watched a video or two. Today I found myself with some time on my hands and I figured that, with the "school time stress" gone, at least for now....that my attempts might be better. Well, I was right!
It took 1 card front, but I had to do both sides in order to get one that I was REALLY pleased with. Keep in mind, when you look at my card, that this is my very FIRST real attempt at the technique. The card front is actually Whisper White paper, which I brayered with 3 sky colors: Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie, and Really Rust. In order to get the "sun", I punched a circle from a Post It note and put it where I wanted the sun, after first brayering the Summer Sun ink. I brayered the other two colors and then pulled off the Post It Circle. I brayered a bit of Old Olive at the bottom for the grass before stamping the tree image and greeting.
I know now that my blending could have been a bit more "shaded" or subtle and that I should have left more yellow at the horizon line. Speaking of the horizon, I didn't try any of the fancy horizons or reflections, but I'm sure that I will, once I get better at this.
Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think of my attempts at this technique.
