Variation on Brayer card

I am still playing with my brayer! I changed it up a little. This time I used separate ink pads and tore an edge on scrap paper. Then I started using my brayer with the lightest color, and worked on out. I used So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Riding Hood Red (retired) and Old Olive Classic Inks by Stampin' Up. The image again is from Upsy Daisy and the dots and sentiments are from Garden Greetings, which are both Stampin' Up stamp sets. Ribbon, cardstock and labels are all stuff I had on hand.
The colors are a little muted here. We couldn't get a good picture without the shadows in the sun. :(

Playing with my Brayer

I went to a make and take at a LSS store yesterday. They had a few representatives from a local stamp company there. They had some make and take cards. I had a great time playing with a brayer, and using some new markers and a die cutting system. It was LOTS of fun, but now I have the dilemma of "I NEED that"!! It's top secret what I got yesterday (can't let hubby know..Hi David!). But here is a card I made last night with my Brayer and a multicolor ink pad. I forgot I even had these stamp pads until we used them in the class yesterday!
The image is from Stampin' Up's "Upsy Daisy" and the sentiment is from SU's Garden Greetings.

I'm pretty proud of the way this one turned out! What do you think???

Upsy Daisy Sympathy Card

I cased the basic layout for this card from a card made by the VERY talented Kristin Fuller. Her card is much nicer then mine of course, and she used more layers.

I made this for my August cards, the theme being Get Well/Sympathy. This one was for my Addicted to Carmaking swap I host on my favorite Message board. I used the Faux Embossing technique on this one, using my Upsy Daisy set from Stampin' Up. The sentiment is from Rubber Stampede, it actually reads "With Deepest Sympathy", you just can't see the "with" too well in these pictures (it's up in the flowers) The ribbons are from those big box stores.
