I've had a brayer for quite a while and I'm ashamed to say that it's stayed in it's box. However not any more because one of the fun things about crafting is having a go at different techniques and just experimenting. With loads of tutorials on the internet it's easy to try out these techniques for yourself. You can also use the brayer to ink up large stamps to give an even coverage.
I went with a simple sunset scene. I punched out a circle from scrap to make a mask. Then rollered with So Saffron, over this with Real Red stopping short of the bottom and finally with Rich Razzleberry again stopping a little further up. I stamped the large ferns from Just Believe in Basic Black and mounted it onto a rectangle of Basic Black. I added a strip of Rich Razzleberry ribbon onto the same colour card then attached this to a Basic Black card base. The main picture was then added to the front.
Now that I've broken the ice with the brayer so to speak I'll have to practice some more.
Thanks for coming over to visit and a big welcome to Kim. Thanks for following I hope you come by often. x

A lovely sunset. Well done on your first attempt. I too have a brayer, and I have tried a few techniques. Watch Barbara Gray shows on Create and Craft for some fab ideas. Lynn x
