Sweet Stamps- Brayering......

This week at the Sweet Stamps Challenge we are making Brayered Backgrounds : )

 I made a card using a "Zindorfian" style Brayered Background.  Michelle Zindorf held a class in my area a couple of years ago (at my house : )  ) and I always love to 'try' to apply what I learned from her!

 I stamped and colored the Swan image, colored with Copics and Ranger Distress Markers. Then, I colored over the image with Versamark and clear embossed it.
 I cut out a circle on a post-it note with a die, then placed it in the center and brayered over it.  First, I brayered with Ranger Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, then Stormy Sky. Next, I added Faded Jeans to the outside edges and corners last to make the image 'pop'.

 The cardstock is coordinations and I added a corner die for a final accent.  I was going to try to add piercing across the entire top as an accent, but decided to stop after piercing the top corners.

I left off a sentiment so I can use this for any occasion- but think it would make a great Anniversary card......!
