    So, I think a class in the capital city of Oregon is in order…because I cannot seem to brayer without lines. Beautiful card!

    I was just looking at this set and thinking i might need it. I like how you used the top note die to do this, i have it but haven’t used it much yet. I like the colors you used and great lay out. Hope you will be able to put the tutorial on. Thanks for the idea! Oh WOW! Don’t play games with this old lady! LOL!! Just as i hit submit on comes the tutorial and stops me! My laugh for the day! Thanks Michelle and also for the laugh!

    Congratulations Michelle on becoming a SU demonstrator. You will be perfect. I know you will be very successful. Your designs, color schemes are always supberb.
    I wish I could order from you but I’m in Canada and your note says US only. If you can ship to Canada at some point, please post it. I’m sure you have a lot of Canadian fans who would support you.
    Can’t wait to see your next tutorial.

    beautiful card — it reminds me of P Buckley Moss painting!

  19. Karenon 19 Feb 2009 at 1:55 pm

    Wow. Wow. Wow.
    I think I’ve been there! haha.

    Absolutely beautiful. It looks as though you’re high above a valley and you can just make out the mist-covered town below.
    (ok, i know you didn’t put in a town, but I see one!)
    This has to be one of my favorites!!

    And I love that it’s on a Top Note!
    NOW I’ve got the bug to get the Big Shot!

    I can’t wait to try this.

    This is stunning…. When I looked through my SU book, I said to myself this looks like a Michelle set I wonder what she is going to come up with…and then you came up with this beautiful card…. So happy I received my order yesterday of both the Branches and the Top Note die…
