Happy Saturday
Meet today's card.
Very fun and easy background to create using some acrylic paint and my brayer.
So here are my card details.
- I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and brayered some acrylic paint onto it, turning the paper as I brayered to create the layers of paint you can see above. Start with one colour then continue until you are happy with the inking. HINT: If the inking looks too dark for your taste, brayer over it with white paint.
- While the paint dried, I stamped the tree line using my Misti. I inked it up with some Versafine Clair black, then went back and coloured the trees with my Tombow markers to add some colour.
- I placed the matching die over the stamped trees and then die-cut them out.
- I stamped the sentiment in my Misti, then fussy cut it out for more interest.
- I cut down the brayered painted piece to fit the front of my card, then glued the trees over the background. I pop dotted the sentiment over the white area of the tree line.
- I mounted the panel onto a heavy white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

This winter landscape looks fantastic Karen and love the use of a brayer with acrylic paint building up the colours to give a wonderful finished sky with what looks like about three very pretty colours, and the background groups, and foreground single tree look great die cut and with some added colour, and love the way you have cut the sentiment out and pop dotted it over the top. A gorgeous card. x
