Metallic Markers with Brayer - Day 1





It is my turn again to be card captain this week at one of my favourite rubber stamp groups, Enjoy Michael Strong Rubber Stamps. Today’s creation was done with a technique using metallic markers with a soft rubber brayer.

I applied the markers directly onto the brayer by drawing lines after I had sprayed it lightly with a little bit of water. I then rolled the brayer on to white glossy card stock and turning the brayer slightly to have the colours blend together.

Once I had the background the way I wanted it I let the surface dry and then stamped two different beach stamps over my brayered background in Stazon ink. I embellished the card with Michael’s sea shell and star fish which I had stamped on a similar background.

Come join us at Michael Strong Rubber stamps.  Thanks for stopping by today and have a creative day.
