More Brayered Cards

Hi everyone,

Last week, I showed you some small cards I'd made with a brayered background and some Prima stamps. You can find the post, and a video showing you how to create the background here.

Well today, I've used some more of the 3"x3" squares that I cut up and this time I've stamped them using my NEW stamps from PaperArtsy (EEG07 and EEG08).  Once again, my card blanks are 3.5"x3,5", and I again brayered the edges with Guacamole paint.

Instructions - Card 1

1. Stamp the scallop border with a Jet Black Archival Ink pad along the top and bottom of the brayered square.

2. Stamp your greeting (from EEG06).

3. Stamp the small solid flower with Wisteria paint.   

4. Stamp the largest open flower onto a scrap piece of brayered background (ideally you'll have a piece left over that is a slightly different colour to your square background).  Cut the large flower out.

5. Add some scribbles to the scalloped border with a black pen.  Use this pen to also outline the greeting and add dots around the petals of the large flower.

6. Use a white Extra Fine Sharpie pen to add detail to the scalloped border, around the edges of the large flower, and in the centre of all the flowers.

7. Add some dots using Ranger's Black Enamel Accents.

8. Edge your square with the black ink pad, before sticking the square to your card blank.

9. Stick your large flower in place with thin 3D Foam Pads.

 Instructions - Card 2

1. Stamp your greeting towards the bottom right hand corner of your brayered square using the black ink pad.

2. Stamp the large scribble circle and the small scribble circle around the greeting (remember to go off the edges of the square).

3. Either draw or stamp tiny outline circles to fill in some of the gaps (I cut off one circle from the end of the dot strip on EEG04 to use).  Colour these in with the white pen.

4. Add some dots using the Black Enamel Accents.

5. Edge your square with the black ink pad, before sticking the square to your card blank.

Instructions - Card 3

1. Stamp the banner border with the black ink pad along the top and bottom of the brayered square.

2. Stamp your greeting (from EEG06).

3. Stamp the small outline flower (x3) and larger scribble flower onto a scrap piece of brayered background (ideally you'll have a piece left over that is a slightly different colour to your square background).  Cut the flowers out.

4. Add some stripes to the banner borders with a black pen.  Use this pen to also outline the greeting.

5. Use a white pen to add detail to the banner borders and in the centre of the small flowers.

6. Add some dots using the Black Enamel Accents underneath the greeting and along the edges of the banner borders.

7. Edge your square with the black ink pad, before sticking the square to your card blank.

8. Stick your flowers in place with thin 3D Foam Pads.

Enjoy!
