Brayer

Hello Stampers! Today I am going to feature a great tool that Stampin' Up offers. I can not take credit for this great list of of ideas to use this tool for, but enjoy!

1.Stripes: using markers, make stripes on your brayer (this works best if you lie it on its back and turn the roller while holding the marker) all the way around until the beginning and ending stripe meet. Roll brayer across your paper in whatever direction you desire.

2. Confetti/Dots/Raindrops: Randomly make marks on your brayer with your marker (you can use different
colors) all over the entire roller. Then roll away.

3. Reverse/mirror Image: Color your stamp, rubber side up and roll the brayer over the image several times, then roll over your paper (works great with trees, flowers etc).

4. Kissing: Brayer over a background stamp then use your other stamps like the Seasonal Solid and stamp onto the background stamp then stamp onto your card stock - your solid stamp now has a design and you have just multiplied your uses of one set.

5. Ghosting: Stamp an image on your card (say the Snowflake from the "Snowflake" set) several times in clear embossing ink. (DO NOT EMBOSS) Then brayer over your invisible images with regular dye pad and your snowflakes will start to appear.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)
