Sunset on the Serengeti - Brayer Technique

I'm off to work shortly, :( Will not be able to really really play this week double :( But anyway, I did these cards yesterday needed a few more masculine cards and am uploading them this morning before I head off to work.

I fell in love with both these images as soon as I saw them at I Brake for Stamps. so, I purchased these and a few others. I knew they would be perfect for a brayered card. I find I reach for my brayer whenever I do masculine cards. I love to brayer, but don't do it often enough. What a mess I make...lol So once again, I dusted it off and put it to the test. I began with versa mark & Classic Black ink and stamped this image on White Glossy Paper, then heat embossed with embossing powder so that when I brayered over the image, it would not pick up any other colors. I began to brayer on Summer Sun,then Cameo Coral and finished it up with a touch of Real Red. I followed this technique for both images.

I could not get a good image yesterday, it is a very dark and dreary day. So I didn't have good lightening. They are much prettier in real life.
Image #1: Elephants:



Figured since my hands were already covered in ink, and everything was already out might as well make another card. So here goes...

Image #2: Cactus Silouette
