Extreme Surfin'

I have been drooling over a technique that I have seen on a blog, called the Zindorf technique. I was amazed at how wonderful her technique is....

Brayering and layering color, to create a backgroun and to create (and enhance) any stamp to make it pop!

I haven't taken her class, but I did find her blog and decided to try my amateur hand at it!

I love how it creates depth and although I need more work...the beginning is there...!

The cardstock was white, and I brayered Bashful Blue, Taken with Teal, Tempting Turquoise, and Brilliant Blue, and the Sun was created using So Saffron.

The surfer is the EXTREME Surfboard, which living by the beach, I just had to have it! I also used BACKGROUNDS MINI (you have to have this set!) to create more movement of the water. The white gel pen also enhances the water movement.

Now, I know this isn't great, but, it is a start, and it helped me to use this stamp (which I bought to create some cards and other stuff for my daughter and her friends! - wink wink!)
