Congrats, Michelle! I love your gallery and I can always pick out your cards in the gallery. I chose to case Mojo55 New Brayering.
I changed the colors, the images and theme, but I kept the brayered bg and general layout.
All images are Sparkle N Sprinkle- Cocktail Set. To begin, I brayered the pinks onto white c/s and let it dry a little while before stamping my images w/ black waterproof ink.
Using a small, synthetic paintbrush, I bleached out all of the images. I had to wait for the bleach to dry because if it's not dry, any color I add would just continue to bleach. When dry, I colored it back in w/ markers. The sentiment I cut w/ a Nestie tag and just made it smaller. I layered everything w/ black c/s and assembled.
I used the Quickie glue pen to fill in a few areas and added the different colors of glitter. I did this one color at a time so the glitter wouldn't mix. TFL

I envy you your fabulous brayering skills, Julie. Your bg looks wonderful with that taste-tempting beverage, and I love how you bleached and colored all of the umbrellas. Deliciously wonderful!
