Dusting off the brayer

Don't you love rediscovering things / techniques / tools that you've had for ages and then suddenly they seem to crop up everywhere. My list this month includes vellum which is perfect for christmas cards, corner rounders which I think has something to do with the popularity of Project Life cards and using a Brayer. I'd forgotten how much satisfaction there is in starting with a blank piece of white card and transforming it with just a few sweeps of an inky brayer. Here's a quick brayered card I made with a selection of inks, a piece of scrap paper and a circle punch. The flowers are from the Best Of Flowers set. It really is an easy card to make. Flicking through Impressions, the magazine that Stampin' Up! send to demonstrators, I came across an article on ghosting using the white Craft ink. I put the two techniques together to come up with this brayered Christmas card that we made at this month's class at Elvaston, Derby.

One at a time, please!

I've only been away for a weekend but so much is happening. Next bit of news is that you now buy a selection of Single Stamps . Just like 'The Best of" sets, these are only available in clear mount and for a limited time until 31 August . Unlike the sets, these Single Stamps come cello-wrapped rather than the clear cases, however if you wish you can always order them too (Item 119105 Four Clear-mount Stamp Cases).

Christmas Workshop

Thank you to the lovely ladies that joined me on the Christmas 1 workshop, the morning flew by in a flash of ink, cake & creativity. It was great how everyone made the decoration their own by making simple changes to the idea, here's a few... And here's Alyson looking very pleased with her creations. Hope to see you at the next workshop xx
