wow! what a lovely lot of work here Melissa, you are so very arty and creative love your soft gentle tones in your scenes, and the Tim Holtz just above, so all very beautifully done.
Love Shaz in oz.
x PS did you use the brayer on your scene ones, with paper tear hills??

11 January 2011 at 10:39 
HI Shaz, yes I did use a brayer - that has got to be one of the most used items I have :) I love the way you can blend colours together. Thanks also for your lovely comments, I've never thought of myself as an arty person it is a great compliment - especially as I flunked art at school :).

11 January 2011 at 11:05 
I am well impressed with all of your beautiful cards Melissa ... The colours are, as Shaz says, just gorgeous and the blending is spot on! A natural talent with the brayer if ever I saw one. Well done ...my crafty mate! X

PS... The teachers laughed at me when I suggested taking 'o' level art!

Hi Melissa

What a lovely lot of cards you've posted, I totally agree your art work is terrific, I'm not very confident with the brayer, but I do love to watch Barbara on Sunday mornings, I definitely need to get more practice in...

Lovely mountain cards, so soft and atmospheric. Colouring and brayering are great.
