How to Create a One-Layer Panel Card with the Brayer

Gosh, how do you like the title to this tutorial? Coming up with an appropriate eye-catching title is hard to do each week, and this week was the toughest. If you look at my card and the title, you will notice how I compacted it all in the title. My card is one layer, has the look of 9 panels, and it’s all done with the brayer. So there you have it. Enjoy!

Brayer your ink onto glossy cardstock. In my photo I am using Kaleidacolor Caribbean Sea. In my first photo, my other cards use Kaleidacolor Berry Blaze.

With a stamp placement product, center your main image on your cardstock.

Next, place your images along the side of your main image.

You will see that I stamped on additional images so I have a pattern that goes from top to bottom. Place a sticky note across the main image area. You want to add post-it notes to create segments to your card. Your placement is dependent on the images you choose.

Encase the corner images by using sticky notes. With a tiny sponge, sponge coordinating colour around the top and side of your card. You will also do the same along the top of your card (work is underneath the post-it note). Finish by stamping an image in the open area at the center of the top and bottom.

Wasn’t that fun?
