Greetings!
As I was scrolling through cards made by my stampin' sisters today, I saw a beautiful card made by my friend Cathy Peck. She had inked the embossed layer, then added a simple sentiment on a label with some Linen Thread wrapped around part of the label. It was gorgeous! So gorgeous that I had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it.
I opted to use the Timber 3D embossing folder, as I knew the woodgrain would show up really well when inked, and then I just needed a message. The Wonderful Thoughts stamp set has a message that I just love, so I decided this was the perfect card to use it with. To add a little pizzazz to the label, I wanted some sort of greenery, and the Bough Punch provides the perfect sized accent. Here's how it all came together.
Doesn't it look great! Coloring the raised woodgrain on the embossing folder is so easy with the Stampin' Brayer. All you have to do is roll the brayer over the ink pad until the brayer is covered, then roll over the embossed piece. I rolled over it about three times to get it nice and evenly inked, and love the way it looks. Even though I used the Crumb Cake ink, it looks quite a bit darker, so pulling in Early Espresso for a mat layer and for the leafy stem brings in a nice contrast. The simplicity of wrapping twine around the label to the left of the sentiment is such a great touch. I loved this card so much, I immediately made a second one.
If you haven't purchased the brayer, or were wondering how to use it, this is a great way to get you started. The brayer is wide enough to cover the entire 4-1/4" width of a card front, so you don't have to worry about having noticeable areas that aren't inked the same as the rest. Since Stampin' Up!'s embossing folders have such nice raised designs to them, it's easy to use the brayer and only ink the parts you want to.
