Inking a Brayer with Stampin' Spots

[RCB]

Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to ink a brayer well using a Stampin' Spot? I don't have the full size ink pads, and I'm finding that it IS possible to use the spots, but it is a little more challenging. Maybe someone can offer some suggestion? Thanks!

I'm bumping this because I only have spots too - and would love to know if I can use my brayer with them. As far as I'm concerned, this is the only drawback to choosing spots over full-sized ink pads. Love my spots!

I'm pretty sure you could rubber band them together if you're looking to make a spectrum pad.

Just to clarify ~ I'm wondering how I can ink the brayer evenly with one color while using a spot. The challenge is to avoid the little squares!

Spots are just a little tricky, but a small piece of saran wrap and tap the spot along a line or a drop or two of reinker and make a line, run the brayer back and forth over the line and presto! Inked brayer.

I did 4 colors of spots to make a rainbow look.

Thanks for the tips ~ I'm going to give the saran wrap technique a try!

I would try sliding the ink pad left to right and then 'pouncing' a few times!
