Hello.........
What a week end I had, we moved mum & dad furniture wise on friday and then Sat and Sun was spent trying to organise the furniture and stuff in a much smaller space.
The kitchen as less cupboard space than the old one so not everything would fit, it was then decided that they would be better off to have a new kitchen (my brother in law fits kitchens).
They also have moved from a house with coal central heating so always had a little bit of heating from the boiler, now they have gas so thats taking some getting used to for them.
when I spoke to them today they seemed much happier now they getting settled and at least no more stairs.
Onto my card
once a month I attend a technique class with Joanne from the crafty owl and yesterday she organised a special class for Brayering, now I have never touched a brayer but have always admired the work created by other crafters so decided to have a go. We had a fab day and created lots of different backgrounds some good some not so good, this was one of the backgrounds from the class and I made it into a card last night.
I masked off my Whisper White panel to create a strip and brayered Pear Pizzazz across the bottom of the panel and Blushing Bride across the top. The silhouette stamp is from the set Serene Silhouettes, stamped in black ink. i added my panel to some Pear Pizzazz card, created a base from Blushing Bride added some pink twine and a sentiment from petite pairs before adhering to my base with some foam pads. I added some little dots to the top half of the panel.
The challenge this week at Less is More is Silhouette so I am joing in with the challenge.
Gorgeous card Gail.

This is the card that drew you to your blog, gorgeous Gail, really love the design and colours, and having read your post I now know the answer to my question! Glad you've got your parents settled in their new place, Jx
ReplyDeleteI had a whole day, and all we did was practice creating different backgrounds, I find it ok watching You tube but I like to know what I do wrong
DeleteWonderful brayering - love the way it is much paler in the centre.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you to catch up with Joanne for new techniques! Another superb brayering example and a lovely combination of colours to showcase your silhouette. thanks so much for playing along again this week!

I've never touched a brayer either! But your background is lovely. And that stamp is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGail I love it!! What a pretty way to finish off your masked brayered panel card - I love the addition of the rhinestones and pink twine. I'm so glad you enjoyed your class and thanks for the shoutout!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Gail. I used to brayer a lot when I first started card making, but haven't done much for a few years now. I really need to pull it out ... this is just a beautiful background. Love the silhouette. xx
ReplyDeleteSorry to be so late visiting you, what a pretty background for your silhouette Gail!
