This card is for today's color challenge. I tried out some brayer skills that I learned this weekend at Michelle Zindorf's class. Yes, I got to learn from the master herself! Wow, was it ever amazing! So much info and loads of fun!! I highly recommend her classes to everyone. She's an excellent teacher and so nice to be around.
I embossed the main image and colored it with an aquapainter. I added the moon and after brayering the sky, added highlights with a white gel pen...a few too many, I think.
I'll send this to my friend, Valerie, for her birthday. She loves purple.
TFL!

For your first attempt at brayering following your class, this is jsut amazing, Leisa! Gorgeous way to use purple and such a stunning asian image/card. A jaw dropper for sure, girl.
