What can I do with a brayer?
Creating resist with the Versamark Pad
You can create an original background by using a Versamark Ink Pad. This ink is clear and can be used as a "resist" medium. Just ink up a stamp with the Versamark ink and multi-stamp it onto your paper or cardstock. Then ink up your brayer, or a craft sponge, with dye ink in the color of your choice and roll/run it across the cardstock. The images that have been stamped with the Versamark will not "hold" the top layer of ink and will stay uncolored - it's a great look!
Reverse stamping effect with a brayer and pigment ink
Achieve a reverse stamping effect with this technique: brayer 2 or more colors of pigment ink across some glossy cardstock. Take an uninked stamp and stamp it onto the brayered surface - it will actually take the ink "away" from the cardstock. Do this until you have created a look that you like. Emboss or apply fixative to your finished product.
