Brayering – Basic

G’Day Stampers,
I have a small wee Tutorial/Technique to share with you today
Brayering – Basic
Supplies –
Ink
Cardstock
Brayer
Stamp Set
Scrap Paper
Instructions –
  1. Ink Brayer with ink, ensuring you roll in one direction, usually away from you
  2. If required, repeat until roller is fully inked
  3. Ensuring scrap paper is under your cardstock, roll Brayer onto your card
  4. Decorate & complete Card
Tip –
  • Do not roll Brayer back & forth on ink pad, as you will be only inkin 1/4 of your surface
  • Scrap paper is required as you will be rolling off both ends/sides of your cardstock
Very easy simple technique!
Until next time, have a practice
Enjoy

Chocolate Bunnies….

G’Day Stampers,
Another couple of Chocolate Bunnies for you – same layout, different colours.
With the Green Bunny, I have cut him out & using Glue Dots, placed him above a stamped image on the Whisper White Cardstock.  I hope you can see that!
I haven’t added a greeting on these cards, as sometimes I like to leave them blank. 
You can always add one later on.
