Sunrise at Swansea - Upsy DaisyI was around at Tania's the other day, having a lovely time stamping and embossing, when on my way out the door, Tania mentioned that she forgot to ask me to demo the brayer!
I suddenly remembered a great technique that I saw in a Card Making Magazine recently. There were some examples of Stampscapes stamped over photos of sunsets. Brilliant idea!! I thought this technique would look great using the Stampin' Up! Silhouette range of stamps. So here I am with example number one out of six that I did this afternoon. I'll show you the rest in a later post.
I printed out lots of photos that my hubby had taken on a family holiday to Swansea (on the beautiful East Coast of Tasmania) and some sunset photos taken in Cambodia in 2008. I just printed them on Whisper White cardstock, stamped the silhouette in Basic Black and for this example, I added a sentiment from Pocket Silhouettes. Voila! So easy.
I certainly won't stop trying to master the brayer (I love Michelle Zindorf's work) and it's a great tool for emboss resist as well, but I certainly have a lot more practising to do!
Here's my first attempt at using the brayer (which I did long before I started blogging). I tore strips of paper to mask the different layers of colours that I used. From memory, the colours were More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip. I used the grass stamp from Inspired by Nature.
