Boy is my rear dragging today. Why does that happen when you have such a big list of things to accomplish? lol. Is it the list that makes your rear drag? Actually it could be that I had a 12 hour drive home yesterday from Minnesota to Ohio. It was so well worth it though. The ladies in my Brayer Workshops in Minnesota were all wonderful people and great stampers. You all rock!
I have just a couple of things to announce before I start on today’s tutorial.
Number one, I will be teaching my Brayer Workshops in Virginia Beach, Virginia this February. Click HERE for more info.

Stamped Butterflies on a 3″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock by first loading my stamp with Versamark and then with Brilliant Blue ink before stamping.
Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Colored over the butterflies with Versamark and then heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun. Now the Butterflies are protected and will resist the ink that is stamped and brayered over them.
Stamped the foliage by first loading the stamp with Versamark and then with Old Olive ink before stamping it. Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Colored the leaves in using an Aqua Painter and Always Artichoke ink.
Colored over the Always Artichoke leafs with a Versamark marker and heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Brayered Apricot Appeal ink on the top left corner of the card stock.
Brayered Dusty Durango ink on the bottom left corner of the card stock.
Brayered Chocolate Chip ink on the bottom left corner of the card stock, not covering all of the Dusty Durango ink.
Wiped the ink off of the embossed images using a paper towel.
Stamped the flourish stamp using Chocolate Chip ink.
Sponged a bit of Chocolate Chip ink on the left side of the card stock.
Punched a couple labels out of Chocolate Chip card stock.
Held them together and snipped the end off off one side.
Added Chocolate Chip and Brilliant Blue panels, the label punches and a thin strip of Brilliant Blue card stock to the top of the punches.
Pierced holes in the strips of Brilliant Blue using piercing tools.
Added a couple of gold brads.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day be spent doing the things that you love.
Until my next post. . . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
