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.

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.

I made this card to enter OWH S&S Virtual Cardmaking Party: Be a Rebel Challenge – May 5-6, 2012.  I started for the first challenge and ended up to the fifth challenge (except the third challenge) with this one card.  I couldn't keep up with each challenge every four hours since David is home on the weekend only.  I hope this is acceptable.  Now go back to catch up the upcoming  (maybe already up) challenges....

thank you

I used a part of the digital image from Bugaboo Digis to make this card.  I cut out the flowers after coloring and attached it on to a white oval cardstock.  I glued the bottom part of flowers down and raised each flower with dimensionals.  For the layer, I used a paper doily die from SU.  I cut out the center part as it will be covered anyway.  I added it to the bottom of the paper doily to create an extended look. Because the oval shape won't be centered to the paper doily...   Does it make sense?

I like how it turned out.  Looks like a fan and the handle.  Oh what a cute imagination!
