OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #121 & more

I played my Brayering Off Technique with other embossing folders and created this beautiful(!!!) card. I had so much fun and added some photos to share here. Hope you will have a fun, too.

Here are what I played with.

Note for Punch Tip: You just punch out two pieces of 1/3 shape from this punch when you want to add a border. This way you don't need to cut a whole shape in half and trim off.

Brayering Off Tutorial & OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #122

Hello,

Those OWHers who wanted to learn this technique, here you go. If you didn't see my card that I made by using this technique, HERE is the link to my previous post.

Oh my..... it took me so long time to complete this tutorial. I hope everyone of you would enjoy and try this technique. It's not complicated at all but needed some practice.

Brayering Off Technique (I just named it since I haven't found the same technique.)

and a card that I made to enter OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #122

Note: No Step 7 in error.

UPDATE: I added more on my next post. Hope you will check them out, too. Any embossing folders that you have would work fine. Hope you will give it a try.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stampers Best OWH Blog Skip

Welcome to Stampers Best OWH Blog Skip. I am happy to particpate in it. I have several stamp sets from Stampers Best. I am working on more cards to share with you. Here is the first one that I made for the start. This stamp set is "Band of Brothers" rubber stamp. I embossed the background with "stars" embossin folder and inked by brayer. For the stamped image, I created a background cardstock by my "brayering off technique". I am getting so excited about this technique. I searched on the internet but I didn't see the same technique yet. Hope you will enjoy it.

My second card. This is a stamp set designed by Sandy Allnock, "OWH Ciara in Camouflage Rubber Stamp". I colored with Copics. I think that Ciara's color came out a little bit darker than real in this photo. Sentiment stamp set "Miss You" is also from Stampers Best that I only stamped one part of it. Original sentiment is "I did 3 things today miss you, miss you, & miss you!" I like it all together but I didn't have enough space to stamp on.

My third card. I used the stamp set "Hero Panels Rubber Stamp Set". I heat embossed the stamped image and colored with Copics. I draw pencil lines for the "HERO" word to show. I added a embossed star sticker on the big star. I think this is a great stamp set for the OWH cards.
