Morning all, really quick shares today, got another appointment with the osteopath this morning to do a bit more on the shoulder and need to make an appearance at work, but as you seemed to like looking at my brayer attempts yesterday though I would share a couple more.
And I have decided that as several of you hinted at the idea and also some lovely mails asking so nicely to share how I do it, I am going to do a tutorial................just as soon as there is a decent day of sunshine so I can get some reasonable pictures. So watch this space.
My card above again uses Adirondack dye inks and a whole variety of stamps. I wanted to try and create the appearance of rays of sunshine on the field so after masking and brayering, I did a bit of sponging.....I will try and show this in my tutorial as well.
This second card again incoporates brayering and sponging plus some masking and that lovely Penny Black 2905H sentiment. You will note the trees are all the same ones and I 'need' more....I have seen a lovely tree scape stamp so many times, I think it's Stamping Up, so if anyone knows what it is and where or how I can get it...................please let me know. This card is for the following challenges:
My fianl share is using another favourite.............grief do I have a lot of favourites, this one Crafts and Me Orchid of the Night stamped and embossed with detail clear and coloured with Copics onto a masked and brayered background. The DP is from American Crafts, the border Martha Stewart Doily Lace Trim, the branch is a Sizzix die and of course lashings of glitter and decoupaged fairy wings. This is for the following challenges:

Crafty Cardmakers - Flowers

Three fabulous cards. I would love to see your brayering tutorials. Thanks for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers this week. xx
Oh Brenda you do make the most gorgeous of cards, and your brayering is fabulous, theyve all got such stunning results. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxx
Hi Brenda. More wonderful brayering. Both gorgeous. I bet you're thinking of the treescape from the Stampin' Up "Lovely as a Tree" set. It's my all-time favourite tree stamp, and probably everyone else's too! Having said that, I realise I've never actually posted anything using it on my blog! Heather Telford, however, has some lovely examples of it on hers, including this one. As far as I know, it's still available. xx
Hiya Brenda,
Love all these cards hun but my fave has to be the first one of the field - just stunning.
Hugs
Dawn x
What beautiful cards Brenda! That first one is particularly gorgeous! Perfect composition and the colours.......just lovely.

Beautiful set of cards,
the first's field looks amazingly natural,
really fab winter scenery next and
the fairy fabulous with all that glittery.
Yes, waiting for that tutorial, but take care of your shoulder first,-))m
Love the field effect on the top card well love the whole card but the effect is very impressive. XOXO Zoe
fabulous cards yet again

Hi Brenda wow!!! these are stunning!!!!!!
3 stunning cards Brenda - the brayer ones are really amazing and i would welcome a tutorial. I esp like the blue one where your scene just covers part of the card with the sentiiment down the side (and what a fab use of a penny Black sentiment :-) ) Your fairy is also gorgeous - thanks for joining in the Oldie But A Goodie challenge this time ;-)

Looking forward to your tutorial. Those are just beautiful. Love the images you paired them with as well. TFS
Very pretty! Inspires me to dust off my brayer! Thanks for playing along with us at TSTR! :)
Wow Brenda, I can't believe how bad a blog buddy I've become. I've just spent ages going back over all the beautiful cards I've missed. They are just stunning and these brayered ones really get to me because I am pretty hopeless at brayers.
Sorry to read that your shoulder is being a 'pain' and I do hope you get some relief from your visit to the osteopath today.
Hugs
Lesley Xx
These are all stunning Brenda but my favourite is definitely the first one. I just can't stop looking at it. Since I've never used a brayer I'd certainly be interested in looking at a tutorial. Hope you got on ok at the osteopath and your visit helped.
Kat xx
Fantastic cards Brenda. I love to see your work with inks and brayers. The top one makes me long for the fens again. Love those endless views. Hope the visit to the osteopath went well. I'm amazed that you can produce fab work like this even while suffering with your shoulder.
Beryl xx
Hi dearest Brenda!!
Your brayering is so fab, and the fairy is adorable!
I´m sorry I havn´t been in for a while , but I´m trying to get me up to date right now!!
We are all fine, and are all settled in in our new home town! We love it!
Your work is flawless as allways B!! Hope your sholder will be better soon!
Hugs Lina
You've made me very happy!!!! :) have a great week,Julie.x
Wow! What stunning cards, Brenda! My favourite has to be the field too. Such beautiful colours. I have quite a few tree stamps, but always need some more! Got my eye on Barbara Gray's silver birches. I use my stampin' up tree set loads, so it is definitely worth it!
Hi Brenda - Your cards are stunning, especialy the top one, just beautiful. Glad you're going to do a tutorial, am looking forward to that! I love tree stamps and have some but always on the look out for new ones!
Hope the osteopath helped and your shoulder gets better soon.

Hi Brenda, these are lovely cards. I love the brayering you do. The first one is my favourite - a real work of art. Hope your shoulder is improving and hope to see you soon. Linda x
HI B wow these are amazing, so special, love the scenes you have created, looking forward to the tutorial too. hugs chris xxx
Oh so wonderful....all of these creations. Can't wait for the tutorials. I haven't really done brayering before so might try something new this year. :-). Hope your appointment goes well for you.
Whoot whoot! So glad to hear that a tutorial is in my future! Love 'em all. As soon as I saw the heading in my dashboard I was thinking OK now will have to BEG for a tutorial! So instead of begging will say THANK YOU and pray for lots of sunshine, soon!

Wow Brenda your brayering just gets better and better. I love how you have made the ground look ridged too. Hope your shoulder is getting easier.

I love your brayered cards. I am so glad you are going to do a tutorial, but I must get a brayer so I can try it out! The fairy image is wonderful and I love the glittered wings.

Hiya Brenda, your cards are fab, you sure are good with a brayer! xx jo xx
Wow, they are amazing Brenda! So beautiful! The cards in the earlier post were also fabulous. I'll follow your tut when it comes, the rays are very intriguing. He he, I'll be sitting by my computer with my brayer ready.
Hope the osteopath was gentle and that your arm is a bit better now.

Hi - me again..just been browsing at Lavinia Stamps and they have some lovely tree stamps..(actually I did more than browse but don't tell anyone!!)..Esther xx
Oh WOW!!! You make beautiful cards and specially backgrounds. I love them all!
Hugs,
LIM
They are all gorgeous cards Brenda but that brayered on is absolutely stunning, you amaze me!!
Thanks so much for promising to do a brayering tutorial Brenda. Your cards are absolutely stunning but the brayer frightens me to death. So much so that it hasn't even seen the light of day yet!!!! Your ploughed field is amazing. I love the perspective on it.
Hope the shoulder is doing Ok.
Hugs Lisax
These are beautiful Brenda. I'm looking forward to your tutorial :)
Those brayered scenes are so beautiful!

Your brayered scenes are so inspiring, I love the lines on the field. Like you I need more tree stamps; Branch out and Lovely as a Tree are great, but I need variety and choice!
Wow, amazing cards! thanks for joining us this week at the Shabby Tea Room! : )
Wow, wow and wow again, stunning creations, you are so clever xxx

Wow, Brenda! you have a brilliant eye for your masking and colouring and placement! never done a great deal of masking but have done a little and you give me ideas to get that brayer out again and try some more.. saw it first on you-tube and it is so very effective but skilful too, well done! your soft tones are gorgeous,
Praying for you at this time,that you will rest up and be well again soon..God bless..
