Hello my sweet blog friends! How are you this Monday? I had a chance to make a card last night for a couple of challenges. Scroll down to view the awesome challenge designs! I also did a video for you all. I am so excited to share a new technique! Braying your embossed images. So scroll down to view!
Your comments mean So Very much to me. Please leave me a comment today and let me know what you think. I love hearing from you! Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day!
Today, I used the new Strength & Hope stamp set. I absolutely love this set. Stampin’ Up! is donating $2 from your purchase of this set to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Please click here to view the items. I stamped my sentiment using Perfect Plum. I then stamped my frame image using a Pale Plum SU! Marker. Both the 3-1/2” & 3” Original Die circles are carry over items from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I gently cut out my butterflies and then added Pearls to them. I new bow technique for you! Super Duper excited! I will be showing you another “how to video” on Thursday!

Love the card and the brayer tutorial. Does the brayer clean up easily with Stampin' mist clearner?

Good Morning Joanna! I LOVE your tutorial this morning of brayering on embossed images. I have a question for you: How do you clean your brayer when you're finished with it? What's the best way to keep it clean after brayering and getting all of the ink off of it? Thanks for sharing - I love your daily blogs!

Joanna, thank you so much for the brayering video technique. I really appreciate this! I have been trying different techniques without much success (chalk, etc) and, I can't wait to try this. You are a lot of help, and I love your creations!
