Brayering with a difference

Part of Monday and Tuesday saw me up to my eyes in scrap paper, masking tape and baby wipes as I got my samples for Tuesday nights club ready. I got so stuck in that I ended up with loads of samples and had to pick the best ones with which to make my cards. My hands were stained with ink, which has only just come off.

All of these cards have been made using dye ink, the ink has been transfered from the pad with a brayer. To add further interest I rolled over the ink before it dried with a screwed up piece of scrap paper.

This card is created with a Distress Ink Pad, the Snowy Jo Gingerbread Man is then stamped on top with Timber Brown Stayz-on. Scraps of paper and card are used to compliment the image, to make a contemporary Christmas card.


Same technique this time I used a Big 'n' Juicy ink pad and black Stayz-on on a Magenta stamp. handmade paper scraps have come from the mega value packs.

This one has been created with one of the Adirondack multicoloured ink pads. The Faerie Poppet stamp has been embossed in fine detail gold embossing powder.

This one has been brayered with an Adirondack ink pad in Cranberry. The stamp is one from a Stamp of the Month set from last year and it's embossed in a detail, gold powder.

Lastly, my favourite, the background is a Adirondack multicoloured ink pad, the fantastic stamp is from Stampendous and embossed with a pearlescent graphite powder.

Scarpaholix tomorrow, can't wait. I've managed to create a two page layout and a card and have very few bits left.
