Tutorial Tuesday: Brayer Watercolour
Pull out your Kaleidoscope ink pads and brayer–you’re going to create a watercolour background this week. This is a quick and easy technique.
Supplies:Â Glossy Paper, Kaleidocolor ink pad, brayer, embossing buddy, embossing powder, heat gun, stamp, paper towel, water mister (not pictured), VersaMark (not pictured)
Ink your brayer in the manner of rolling out your brayer in one direction and roll it on your ink pad five to six times before rolling out your ink. Repeat until your glossy cardstock is covered completely.
Mist your brayered background and let your ink run. Blot it dry with the paper towel.
Rub the embossing buddy over the entire surface.
Ink your stamp with VersaMark.
Sprinkle embossing powder over inked surface and heat with heat embosser. You are now ready to finish your card.
This card used a pink and purple Kaleidocolor ink pad. Multiple colours of embossing powders were used.
Another example of brayer watercolour.
Lighthouse and chair stamp:Â Inkadinkado; Friend stamp:Â Hero Arts; Gulfport stamp:Â custom made
