Brayer Background Cards

  Hello from designer, Heidi.

 I have two cards to share today that both use an easy technique my friend taught me called Bouncing Brayer.  All you do is ink up your brayer (I used a kaleidocolor inkpad here, but any dye ink will work fine) and then you bounce in along your glossy cardstock until you like the way it looks.  

For backgrounds like this, I often like to stamp simply over top.  I chose some great stamps from the I Brake for Stamps line and stamped right over top using Archival ink.  I think they both turned out great!  I chose to make these both birthday cards as I completely depleted my supply by giving all mine to a local charity.  

Here are links to the stamps I used.

I Brake for Shy Bears in Spring ....

Hello I Brake For Stamps Friends !!

It's Crystal here with another Easter card and today I am using a Shy Bear from the  # 6 collection .These bears are so cute and fun to stamp up and color , today I copic colored the front image  and on the inside I colored the stamp with markers  to show another way to color them .

to make my butterflies I cut a layer of wax paper and card stock together , this help the die release the cut and instead of throwing the wax paper away I glitter up this layer and it adds awesome wow to your project ( I learned this technique at the CK show I attended ) this glue was bought at the show but as a sub you can use glossy accents , this bottle has a brush tip to apply , you can apply glossy with a brush just rinse out right away.

this is them glittered and layer together , i added red pearls to center of them on the card

here is where I colored the stamp with SU markers and then you stamp off and then stamp the card to get a lighter image so you can still write over
