I have been wanting to try the brayered background technique for quite some time. MichelleZindorf creates some beautiful background using this method. When I finished the background I was not happy and thought Yuck! I decided to keep going and see how it turned out. After finishing I somewhat liked the final product. I did find out that I did not do the technique correctly. I was supposed to brayer top to bottom and I went side to side. I also don’t know if you can use yellow and blue together as you usually get green (I was very careful not to mix the 2 for fear of this). I will continue to play with this technique as I think it makes a fabulous background. I will post some more cards made using this technique so you can see my progress. 🙂 Let me know what you think.

Let me know what you think. Don’t forget to check back and see my progress on this technique. For you teachers out there feel free to grade me! 🙂 I would love to work towards an “A”! Thanks for looking!
Robbie, it’s not your usual. Something about the tulips. Maybe they are too big for the stems. I liked the background. I will have to look up the technique to see what you actually did. Sandy B
