Baubles

So glad I decided to buy the brayer, I've been playing again and used my new Brilliance tri-colour twilight pad then cut out a bauble with my new nestie set.


I've used pearlised card stock for the base card to match the sparkle of the ink and embossed the next size bauble direct to the card. I cut another bauble from gold foiled acetate to use as an overlay and added a lilac bow. Card is finished with a sentiment stamped in the same ink.
Unfortunately the acetate doesn't photograph too well and the colours of the brayering are not showing at their best.

Challenges entered:
Less is More - sketch
The Cheerful Stamp Pad - be transparent
Sparkles Forum - something that sparkles
OSAAT - your favourites (currently brayering)
Fussy and Fancy - new technique (brayering)

    The pearlised card makes it super special!

    Well done with your brayer work .. .. . I think I need to get mine out a bit more or I am never going to improve!!!

    Lovely looking card Carol. Its good what you've done with your brayer, really subtle. I've got one and play occasionally but have never used it on anything I've made! I've also got those Nesties and haven't used them but now you have inspired me!! xx
