I would like to welcome a new follower to my blog this morning. She is Judy of http://judyscardcorner.blogspot.com and I hope you can visit her blog and say hi.  She is a design team member for CASology and on her blog Tuesday she had stunning pictures of the Northern Lights and the Milky Way seen from Iceland!

I'm sharing a card today made from a stamp I borrowed. I have returned it but I think it was a Stampendous cling stamp and I don't know it's name. I embossed it in white e/p and brayered on Distress Ink in three fall colors. The leaf is a die from Poppy Stamps called Majestic Maple and is also sponged with DI and the greeting is Lawn Fawn. I used a sponge brayer on the background and I love it. It is small so it's much easier to use for me than a larger rubber one. It gets into small places and it so lightweight. I love it when I find a new product that is so easy to work with, does the job well and is inexpensive. Be kind to one another.

So now I have to go get a foam brayer! You are an enabler, my friend! How I love this card, Brenda--such beautiful colors & the design is wonderful! I was just looking at that leaf--thank you!--& thinking of what I could do with it. We do like a lot of the same things!

Weren't Judy's photos amazing?! Wow!

Your card is really stunning, Brenda! I love the background embossed in white with those beautiful fall colors and that maple leaf looks totally real!! I have a bunch of those foam brayers from SU - unused, of course. I have a hard time blending with the TH blending tools, so thanks for this reminder about the brayers! That may be the ticket for me to be able to do blending because I love the look!! Hugs, Darnell xxoo

A gorgeous card Brenda. The background is lovely and sets off the leaf perfectly.
