Ready to roll has a few meanings in our house this week:) We are back from a week of rest in the Rocky Mountains, and now it’s time to roll..to get a move on…to snap to it…to get’er done! Only 31 more days until the wedding and there’s no time for sitting around people! LOL!

But “ready to roll” also refers to a technique I’m going to share with you today. I’d like to introduce you to one of the fabulous tools Stampin’ Up! has: our brand new Sponge Brayers.

Sponge Brayers are one of those handy little gadgets that serious stampers love to have in their tool box. To use, simply roll it over your ink pad, then roll it over your background stamp or piece of cardstock. It lets you apply a thin, uniform layer of ink over broad areas – such as a background stamp or embossed cardstock. It is a very simple technique that even beginning crafters can enjoy.

Brayering makes embossed paper stand out! See the Irresistibly Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper on page 127 of the new annual catalogue to see what I mean!You might think that your brayer doesn’t have enough ink on it, but usually there’s plenty. Try it out on a piece of scrap paper first to see if the brayer has the color saturation you want for your project. Look how beautiful it looks on this Thank You Bag!You can brayer over our Hearts and Stars Decorative Masks…
And over plain cardstock to create an ombre effect of color…
Wow! There are so many things you can use these brayers for!! Are you ready to roll?? If you don’t have one,  what are you waiting for? The Sponge Brayers are a great value – they include two handles and four sponges (1-3/4″ wide).
