We had a fantastic time at our stamp meeting last night. We learned some of the fantastic brayering techniques of
Michelle Zindorf. This is the card that
Mary showed us how to create. I just love everything about this card!
We started off with a piece of whisper white (the best cardstock to use for this technique because it is so smooth) and brayered some bashful blue on opposite corners followed by some lavender lace, then we sponged some elegant eggplant all around the edges. Then we stamped the skaters in chocolate chip and without reinking the stamp, stamped two more times diagonally. Then we stamped the snowflake in whisper white in the corner (I love this little touch!)
Mary have already embossed the snowflake on some bashful blue and sponged some elegant eggplant around the edges for us. To finish, I mounted it on some elegant eggplant.
I will definitely be using my brayer more!
I made this card at our last demonstrator meeting. This is another fun technique you can do with Stampin' Up!'s Textured Impressions Embossing Folders - debossing! After running your cardstock through your Big Shot in a Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, simply turn the cardstock over to the back side, use a brayer to add color and you will get beautiful results! For this card I used the Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder and some Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry on some shimmery white cardstock. I trimmed the edges of the flowers, added "Thanks" layered with the oval punch and scallop oval punch, and added some polka-dot melon mambo ribbon.
