Brayered Birds

I have gone mad on Brayering of late and I came across a beautiful card made by another Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  Here is my take on it, which, surprisingly, has turned out quite similar.

To make this card you will need Glossy Whisper White card stock, which I cut to approx 10cm x 15cm.  I then brayered along the bottom in basic black (rolled brayer a bit before hand so I didn't get too much black), brayered in Whisper White above the black (again rolled off a bit before applying), brayered in River Rock, More Mustard and Pumpkin Pie.  Applied a little of River Rock (retired but will be back in new Idea Book & Catalogue) over everything to blend a little. 

Stamped Upsy Daisy in basic black along the bottom.  Ran the whole gloss card stock (after drying) through the Big Shot using the Top Note Die, punched out two birds using the Extra Large Two Step Bird Punch in basic black card stock and mounted using dimensionals.  Mounted the top note onto Barely Banana, mounted onto Pumpkin Pie onto Basic Black cardstock. 

I really, really like it.

Brayering is an art in itself and takes a little time to get the knack.  If you would like to learn this technique, email me today for a spot in one of my upcoming classes.

Here is another card that I made today, quite simple.  I started with Melon Mambo cardstock cut to 21cm x 18cm, cut some Cottage Garden Designer Series Paper 21cm x 8cm, Whisper Whtie Cardstock, 21cm x approx 4.5cm.  Stamped Flight of the Butterfly butterflies in Chocolate Chip, Pixie Pink, Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry onto Whisper White, stamped smaller butterflies (from same stamp set) ono Whisper White and cut them out.  Added Chocolate Chip Ribbon to the top of the Whisper White Card Stock, folded butterflies in half and flattened out again, just to give that 3D look and stuck on with Sticky Dots in the centre.

Hope you like it!!
