Brayered Stampscapes Card

{Calligraphy - Illuminated text in post above}

Hullo there everyone!!
Way back I actually brayered these backgrounds and showed you how I make these brayered backgrounds. 
Then a another video was made stamping them using these stamps, but we forgot to check camera was still in right spot. Half of it was off screen so I never uploaded it. 
Finished images were on my WOYWW desk a few times (see HERE), and now here they are at last in cards!

Card for Mrs A. as special thank you, from draw on Dec. 1st 2012 when drew a thank you draw to thank my Wonderful Encouragers, for being that - Encouraging!She kindly waited till I was well enough to make it ( I know she has received it now). 

First time used the stamp and used it as an overlapped image. It was not large enough for brayered background. (See the second lot of rocks on right of image; I have overlapped the stamp just near that) The trial piece here shows it better .

It was shown on the one Kevin's posts  .. he owns/ designs Stampscapes. He has quite a few videos on scene building - check them out!

Here is his first video called Seamless Scenes. Try this link if it does not work.
A card for Bernie, as a special "Thinking and Praying for you" card.
Funny isn't when you go to do a card you cannot quite find the right words for greeting? Thought I had plenty till making this card above {Note to self: Look for better small ones, plenty of big ones} .
I really love these scenes and  dont think possibly Panpastels (the little I have used them), they will ever beat the brayer for clear crisp pop out scenes. Partly because of the high gloss paper upon which you brayer - Kromecoate is best. I think that this is because you use different paper too not just the medium itself.
Just in case you missed the video for the background with brayer look on this post here as it has video plus whole lot of tips to brayer well.

Thanks so VERY much for popping over for a peek and chat, and may God bless your day wherever you may be!!

    Beautiful scenic cards, Shaz. I watched all the way through the first video and was totally mesmerised! Kevin created some very beautiful scenes so cleverly. And so have you - I can see his influence - and I'd love to spend some time in that cabin :) Hugs, Elizabeth xx

    These are simply beautiful. I love how the background is all subtle and dreaming looking yet the image is crisp and clear.
    I have only used a brayer once in a class...mine go was hopeless awful! I always admire the girls who make these wonderful style of cards. There is a definite knack to handling it correctly to get these gorgeous results.

    Beautiful cards, Shaz, and you have really go hat brayering sorted now. It is really lovely. I have to admit to ordering some more of those 3D butterfly sets to do some more cards. They are so effective and all you really need to do is colour, cut out and stick. Relaxing! Have a good week. xx Maggie
