Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Saturday’s blog a new technique, right? Thought I’d get my brayer out. It’s been a while…. Time to get the comfy slippers on again.

Okay, let’s start… Stamp the church onto our Coated Claritycard using a black Archival ink…
How about a trad stamping scene using Jayne’s wonderful Winter Scene stamps? Let’s use the coated Claritycard, A5. Run lowtack tape around the edges for a frame and add a large moon mask. Load your brayer with Blue Chase Artistry ink and roll the sky into place. Add some more Blue Chase Artistry ink to your blending mat and ink up the stamp directly from the mat. This will give you a more subtle image. Good idea, especially when working…

Hi. Thanks for popping in. If you watched Create & Craft last Sunday, you’ll have seen me use not one, but TWO large Gelpress plates! This was to move through a monoprinting printing process quickly. If you use two plates, you can bounce between colours, transferring colours back and forth as you pull prints, getting loads of blends and lovely ghost prints. If you’re only working with one plate, you have to keep cleaning it, and the colours muddy, and…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. On Friday evening, during our Moment of Clarity LIVE Craftalong on Youtube / Facebook LIVE, I rolled the brayer off onto a few little scraps. If you watched you may recall, I was telling you all about the misty Scottish highlands that I could see in the little scrap… So I thought I’d play the film right through to the end, so you too could see what I see! Simple step by step coming…
