Life is a matter of moments - CAS155

Photo Details

Poster: Loll Thompson

For this week's CAS challenge (CAS155 - photo inspiration: Summer Gold)

I used the brayering technique for today's card, masking off the bottom and top of the card front and then adding Wild Wasabi and Baja Breeze inks. I sponged So Saffron lightly between the brayering and added the trees in Early Espresso ink.

Gorgeous! Love the design in thirds. Lovely as a Tree is one of my fave SU sets. I really need to get a brayer one of these days.

Simply beautiful, Loll! Not only is your brayering fabulous, but also the shading you did under the trees. Beautiful, beautiful work, my friend!
