BRAYERING

Pin It
No, it is not the sound a donkey makes, it is my new favourite toy!
This weeks class will be focusing on how to use a brayer.  There are just so many techniques that you can do with this wonderful tool.  It is also fantastic for inking up large stamps.  Stampin' Up! sells Speedball rubber brayers which are of an excellent quality and cost just $28.50, a lot less than in most retail stores.
This first picture is a card I made last night.  It uses the C is for Cat stamp set ($30.95) and Pocket Sihouettes ($39.95).  I had a great time with many different colour inks and used the White Gel Pen ($8.95) to add highlights.
The next photo is an example of what we will be making in class this week.  You will use the brayer to make a background sheet and then a Stampin' Around Wheel.  Then you will make a set of gift cards and
envelopes.
If you would like more inspiration and ideas on using a brayer, have a look at this fantastic site!

WOW Anne, that is one amazing card. I might have to get out my brayer and have a wee play. Thanks for the inspiration.
