It's a Country Western Kind of Day!

Happy Friday!


With the American Holiday this past Monday & since I was off work yesterday, this week really flew by for me. Don't get me wrong, I have to work both Saturday & Sunday this weekend--I could only wish to have two 3 day weekends in a row! LOL!





My missing mojo temporally came back to me the other night as I tried to work on this weeks Fun Filled Friday Challenge--to use our brayers. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.


I heat embossed the Cowboy Silhouette image from DRS Designs with black embossing powder on white glossy cardstock and then masked off a 1" circle punch. I brayered the background in blues to create a night sky. Then I sponged in the moon area with yellow inks and sponged a little bit of the sky with yellow too, making it look like the moon was shining down on the cowboys.



I embellished this image with some square gold brads and some twine I had laying around in my ribbon box.



Stamps: DRS Designs-Cowboy Silhouette (M316)
Ink: Versamark, SU! Bashful Blue, Brillant Blue, Night of Navy, So Saffron, Summer Sun, More Mustard
Paper: Glossy white cardstock, Colored Cardstock by American Crafts
Accessories: Heat Gun, Creative Beginnings Black Embossing Powder, Post-Its, Nesties, twine unknown from my stash, square brads by Joann's Scrap Essentials, Sponge Daubers, Brayer

Have you brayered lately? If so, let me know by leaving me a link in the comments section of this post so I can see what you did. If not, why not get it out & ink it up!?!?!? I'll be waiting...


Thanks for stopping by today!

Smiles,
Jennifer
