Frayed Denim Brayer

This little 3x3 card needed some denim to finish it off, so I cut apart an old pair of jeans and frayed an edge to pull off some denim threads. The little palm from the Plant Hope stamp set fit perfectly against the brayered background. (Here's a brayering video I posted this month).

I used the direct-to-paper technique to create the wispy grass in the foreground. This is the third in a trio of cards from February's Brayer Class. If you'd like more information on the tutorial or card kits available, please click here.

Video and Brayered Flower Garden

I'm excited to share the cards we made in this month's Brayering Class. If you haven't brayered before, it's a great way to add color and drama to your cards. Once you get comfortable with brayering, it's a technique you'll want to use often in your card making or scrapbooking. Today's card uses the Flower Garden textured impression folder along with brayering.

I added a sentiment from the Petite Pairs stamp set, which fit perfectly next to the embossed Flower Garden image. I'm also posting my YouTube video on Brayering below.

I appreciate you stopping by...hope that you have a great day.

Itty Bitty Flower Brayer

I am in love with the Pocket Silhouette stamp set, because of its versatility. I used it in my October class using the baby wipe technique and I'm using it again in this month's Brayer class because it creates the perfect grassy field against the brayered background. (Be sure to check out my Brayer Video if you missed it).

I used the Adorning Accents edgelit and embossing folders to create the cute scallop edge details.

Thanks a bunch for visiting.

Brayered In-Color Top-Note Card

From Heidi...
I've had a lot of ideas that I've been wanting to get to, but haven't had the time. This afternoon I was finally able to play around with some of the new In-Colors. I thought brayering would be a fun challenge to use to try out a few of the colors together and see how they looked. I also got to use Adriel's Big Shot, so that was fun, too. This is what I came up with.
I love SU's new Soft Suede CS. I lightly sponged the outside top-note frame with black which gave the brown an almost leathery look...kind of cool. I'd seen a tutorial on how to make your own Dew Drops, so I tried that out and ended up putting several on this card. I really like how all the colors look together, I'm looking forward to playing with the other colors. Fun, fun, fun!

Here's the supplies I used:
Ink:
Dusty Durango (Brayering)
Rich Razzleberry (Brayering)
Pretty in Pink (Brayering)
Old Olive (Brayering)
Basic Black (for stamping greeting and sponging leaves and frame)

Stamp Set:
Sincere Salutations


CS:
Soft Suede
Kraft for card base


Accessories:
Big Shot: Top Note; Birds and Blooms
Dew Drops
Brayer
Sponge
