Just some brayering

Hi Guys

If somebody had said to me a year ago that I would be able to brayer without getting any lines on my work I would have laughed at them.  Now though I can brayer confidently and produce pieces of work that I am very very proud of.  I have to thank my fellow teamie and very good friend Michelle for showing me how to do it.

Here are some pieces of work I have done this week

This is just general brayering using a piece of waste paper torn so that I could form hills.  The tree is from Lovely as a Tree

Done the same as the one above but only one hill.  I have used 3 stamp sets in this piece.  Forest Friend (coloured the white bits with white gel pen), Autumn Days for the foliage around the edges and Lovely as a Tree for the trees.

This is just done by brayering the top in regal rose and the bottom with bashful blue.  The bottom stripes have been done by randomly putting elastic bands on my brayer and inking up and rollering over the image.  I have used Flight of the Butterfly for the stamp set.

Just a little bit of what I have been doing this week.

I hope you like and until next time

Post It note Holder

Hi All

Well this is a little thing that I made with a group of ladies that I teach along with some other things as well.

We had fun making this and it was something that I thought wouldn't take long at all but between this and the other two things it took them nearly 3 hours, but we did have a giggle.

I have used Oval All for the sentiment and the oval and scallop oval punches all from the mini catalogue to punch it out. Card stock for this is Bashful Blue.

The Designer Series Paper is Washington Apple again from the mini catalogue.

Card stock is lovely lilac and lavender lace which can be bought from the main catalogue.

I have seen this idea done before but I can't remember where from so apologies to the original owner of the design.

I hope you like.

Enjoy
