Brayer Resist Medallion Card


I have been waiting for AGES to be able to share this card. I designed it nearly a month ago but had to wait till today to show it to you as I presented at the Auckland Stampin' Up! Regional Training for demonstrators as a WOW presentation. Firstly I was thrilled to be asked - only two of us out of the 60+ guests were ask, and even more flattered that the 'powers that be' thought it was good enough to present.

What I did to create it was cover the Medallion stamp with versamark, then spritzed Basic Grey and Going Grey then stamped it on to the card and part on the envelope. I covered this with clear embossing powder and heat set it with a heat tool.

Then I brayered Going Grey over the embossed images, and wiped over Medallion image with a tissue or paper towel to remove any ink on the shiny image. I tore the edges of this to reveal the white core to age it up. I inked up the flap on the envelope too.

I layered it up with a stamped image from the Rustic Rooster (hostess set) set and then on to a Basic Black card. A bit of taffeta Basic Grey ribbon and a salutation from Teeny Tiny Tags on some scraps and its done.

I have made a few variations of this and I will share them over the next few days.

Thanks.
