This month we focused on the Brayer - there are TONS more ways to use it, but I loved these two techniques.
The first one is Brayered Sanded Embossing
Here's the sample we made
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Best of Everything (WM 123534, CM 123536, page 103)
Card Stock: Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Calypso Coral
Ink: Island Indigo, Calypso Coral
Punch: Curly Label (119851, page 209)
Tools: Brayer, Big Shot, Sanding Block, Textured Impressiosn Embossing Folder
Instructions:
Using your brayer, ink up with choice of color and brayer Whisper White Card Stock
Run through the Big Shot in one of the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders (I used Finial Press)
Lightly sand the embossing areas to bring out the white
Add to your card
A very simple, but very effective way to show off your embossing!

I hope you will try this technique and share when you have done so - just leave me a comment and if you have a blog, the link; if you don't have a blog, send me a picture; I would LOVE to add it to my blog!!
Remember the retiring stamp sets will be all GONE on May 31st. You can see them and shop right through my store here. Don't let them get away!!
