Not before time!

Thought I had better make another blog entry since we have started another month.
The brayer technique has been on my mind and following an unsuccessful attempt, I bit the bullet and bought the same brayer that Barbara Gray uses. Oh My Goodness!!!  what a difference the right tools make, obviously you definately get what you pay for.

I bought the 4" speed ball brayer and recreated a card that Barbara made on create and craft a few weeks ago.

I used archival ink to stamp the deer images, Adirondack denim for the background brayering and wording. I also used a frost versamark underneath the verse although the photo doesnt show this to its true potential.

I used promarkers to give the deer some colour and patterns.

The only thing I would do differently in future is leave the stamped image longer to ensure its dry and invest in some clarity gloss coated card. I tried both glossy photo paper and crafters companion gloss card but my low tack tape left marks....maybe I need to change my low tack tape???

Here is more more eye candy I made a few weeks ago

Rupert image is from the Rupert Bear CD, mat and layered onto rainbow shimmer card and rainbow coloured card.

I mounted the topper onto a plain yellow card which I drew wavy black lines on, using a promarker, to look like Ruperts trousers.

I am going to a local craft fair today so who knows what I will return with.....
