Brayer Resist
by Jenna Roby
- Solid or minimal detail rubber stamps
- Glossy card stock
- Versamark Watermark ink pad
- Rubber brayer
- Rainbow dye ink pad
- Scrap paper
1) Stamp the image using the Versamark ink on the glossy card stock. Let dry completely! (You can use a heat tool or blow dryer to speed up the drying time, but if the ink isn’t dry when you do the next step the “resist” images can smear and won’t resist the dye ink as well.)
2) Cover your work area with several sheets of scrap paper.
3) Ink up the brayer by rolling it across the rainbow pad several times in as close as the same position as possible. (Avoid moving the brayer from side to side.)
4) Starting with the brayer just off the glossy card stock, roll the brayer back & forth across the same section of the card stock, going off the edges and not stopping in the middle anywhere. (If you stop in the middle of the piece, you will get lines they do not go away!) For BEST results, roll in smooth full stokes off the edges of the card stock.
5) Repeat step 4 until the whole piece is covered with bars of vibrant color. Let dry.
Try not to touch the front of the glossy card stock with your fingertips as much as possible while cutting, stamping or brayering. Handle the piece by the edges. Oils from your skin will leave “resist” finger prints on your finished piece.
