Sponge brayer techniques

A really simple way of creating a tonal background is to do it yourself. Stampin Up sponge brayers are perfect for this as you don't get the streaks that can sometimes happen with rubber brayers. This fab brayer has 4 sponges and 2 handles and is the great price of £7.25 and is in the annual catalogue link above.

Saleabration is upon us until end of March and for every £45 spend you get to choose a free item from the Saleabration brochure again links above. I have used 2 free sets in this example. The flower is from Avant Garden and the lace detail is from delicate details. I used pool party, Sahara sand and crumb cake inkpads to give a delicate soft feel. I masked the centre band so the lace would have more impact.

Have a good day and catch you all again tomorrow for more fun techniques and projects using Stampin Up.

Fun Tee Shirt Designs If Your Happy and you Know It Keep it Up

I love fun and funky and like most of us have a great selection of tee shirts with all sorts of great images on. Stampin Up Sale a Bration is certainly a time to be happy because for every £45 spent you can chose a free product from the sale a Bration brochure. One of those free sets is Designer Tees which coordinates with the Custom Tee bundle 35 stamps and coordinating dies to create fun Tee shirt designs. Click on the link above and you will find these in the Spring/Summer catalogue.

So I used my favourite new tool the sponge brayers rs which are superb value for money only £7.25 for two handles and four sponge rollers and make the best backgrounds. 141714 is the code.

I used the in colour ink pads to sponge four different bands and then used the Designer Tee sentiment to randomly stamp in the same colour tones over the background. Our small circle punch or the big eye in the owl punch, punched out the little smileys and then I topped it off with two Tee shirts from the Custom Tee.  This look really made me think of summer and festivals and sitting out listening to great music wearing a funky tee shirts and the expression "when your happy and you know it keep it up" just works perfectly.

Hope you enjoyed this project. Catch you tomorrow for more fun and inspiration. 💜
