Wildflowers at Sunset

Well, after a wonderfully fun Brayering 101 with my lovely Sunday ladies, they are keen to move on to the next step and try Brayering 201. So when I got home from work yesterday I just had to sit and play with my brayer. My first few attempts ended up in the bin but I finally went with the one below, even though my brayering isn't quite as even as I would like it.


Materials used:

  • stamps - Silhouette Sentiments (level 1 hostess)
  • card - whisper white, basic black, rich razzleberry
  • inks - regal rose, melon mambo, rich razzleberry, black StazOn
  • other - brayer, circle punch, sponge

However! Note to self: don't use cheap post it notes for masking! They don't punch very well (even using two sheets instead of just one) and they also leak the ink in a little. From now on I'll have to stick to the original, more expensive post its!

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
Kez

Just lovely Kez! You can't always get rid of the lines, but I like to think they add atmosphere! And yes, you are right on with the Post-it-notes too, lol

Gorgeous Kerry. You are inspiring me to finally use my brayer for what I purchased it for (I don't think helping to cover school books in contact counts!!!). Thanks for the tip on post its as well.
