My Rainbow friend Christine was my card swap partner this month and the topic was Full Moon. I fancied another try at brayering and also to make use of my lovely brick wall stamp from I Brake for Stamps.I first stamped the wall and masked it off. I stamped the cat and embossed it with black detail EP and then brayered Memento Cantaloupe over where I wanted the moon to be, let it dry and then masked that off with 1 3/4" circle. Stampin Up Eggplant was brayered around the moon but left much lighter towards the top of the wall. I removed the moon mask and quickly striped some Memento Rhubarb across the moon for extra depth and colour.
The wall mask was removed and I aqua painted several colours of DI to colour the bricks. I then overstamped, with black Archival ink, the silhouetted ferns and weeds.
I do enjoy this sort of card craft and had great fun watching the picture evolve.
Hope you like it and please feel free to leave a comment - all are appreciated.
very atmospheric card, Janet

Janet, the Moonlight Serenade card is just fabulous. When I saw all the colors in the brick wall, I thought: how did she do that? I never dreamed that you did brick by brick. It looks beautiful.
