Ever since I saw the emergining colors tutorial by Beate Johns over on Splitcoast, I just HAD to try it! It just looked like so much fun! I didn't even own a brayer, but I went out and bought one for this technique! (ssshhhhhhhh ... don't tell my hubby, I told him that it is an essential tool for many techniques ... and I'm sure it is, I just have to figure out what they are! hahahaha)

My first attempt did not turn out very well, but I am much happier with this version. This card is so not my usual style, but I'm really liking it. The only thing I'm not thrilled with is my torn edge. I think I may have to invest in a "Tearing Edge" from SU! (if anyone has one they'd like to trade with me, let me know, I don't think I can convince my hubby to let me get another "essential" tool!) This is definitely a technique that I will have to play with more.

Enjoy!
