Give me the Moonlight

There is no doubt about it here in the UK Barbara Grey is the guru when it comes to brayering. I have so tried and failed since she inspired me to buy a brayer. Everyone has their own ways and techniques in using a brayer and sadly  I must admit I couldn't work it, as instructed by Barbara. Yesterday I had a revelation. I attended a Ross Papercraft Show at Nissan Social Club, where I was mesmerized by the lady demonstrating brayering on the
 B & J Crafts stand. I of course had to try, what I thought,was a simpler method of using the brayer. Many will say there is only one way, but believe me, the way you feel comfortable, and even start to feel confident is right for you. So a huge thank you to the lady for increasing my confidence.The stamps I used are from Stampscapes Nature Set 6, and  their eclipsed moon. The bull rushes are from a  set by a friend Barry of BarjanB stamps. I am entering this card, my third new attempt with the brayer for the Moonlight # 3 challenge at  Craft a Scene Challenges.

  9. Caz, love your color choices! Fab job brayering. Not a skill I've conquered though the first stamp pad purchased in 1996 was a rainbow pad! Beautiful job on th scene creation, too! Not something I'm good at, either (scene making)! Have a great week! Yvonne
