Before I get into my post, here are a few details about what’s happening… There are 10 stops on our Blog Hop (Just Add Ink and each of our 9 Design Team members), but the hop is set up in a loop so it doesn’t matter where you start. All you need to do to follow along is click the blog hop button at the end of each post and you’ll be taken to the next stop! The cool part of that is that you can do the Blog Hop whenever you want.
Each week at Just Add Ink, we host a challenge, and this week we’ve incorporated it into our Blog Hop. So the challenge is for you to Just Add… A Technique From The Blog Hop. Easy! There are 9 fantastic techniques to choose from (with a tutorial to match); the hard part will be making the choice! Add your entry to the Just Add Ink blog as normal.
And onto my technique!!!
As you all well know, I love to brayer my cards. I have learnt most of these techniques from Michelle Zindorf and by trial and error and often get asked how to do it. So this week, I’m teaching you how to brayer.
Here is a video I have done showing the whole technique of brayering. Its not fancy by any means and contains lots of ums! I was going to redo the video but I have decided to run with it..lol!
Here is my card this week for Just Add Ink and a photo tutorial on how I have done it..
So I hope you give brayering a try! Practise does make perfect so keep at it if you dont succed the first time. And now off to the lovely Brons blog for her fabulous tutorial
Click on this link below. If you get stuck on the way just pop back to the Just Add Ink blog and click on the links you want.
This is gorgeous Delys!!! I have never brayered before and I must give it a go! You have truly inspired me! Looking forward to seeing tomorrow’s challenge!
Smiles,
Lesley 🙂

Wow, I never saw a tutorial like this before. I never knew that you have to start your brayer off the page. No wonder you brayer experts can get such great backgrounds! This has inspired me to give it a try someday.

Very informative. It is one of those techniques I haven’t quite mastered. Now if only there weren’t so many other jobs to do today…

Great tips Delys, especially the one about starting off the edge of the cs. It explains a LOT about why my brayering never was very successful… Thanks!

Yep, ditto to all the above! Great tip to start off the edge of your cardstock, and to see you actually doing it was a HUGE help! I’m a Kiwi, but have lived in Australia for 26 years now, so it was great to hear your accent, Delys!! Your finished card is lovely. I really liked how you showed step-by-step, with instructions overlaid on the pictures. Great job!

Great tutorial, did not realise the benefit of starting your brayer off the page like that until I actually saw you doing it in the video, thanks for sharing! I will have to get my brayer out and try it as you have shown.
