Serigraph

Make a colorful background with your rubber brayer and three or four coordinating colors.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Ink up your brayer with the lightest colored ink and brayer over some parts of your white cardstock.

   

2. Leave spaces white.
   

   

3. Step 2

   Take your second color and repeat step one.
   

   

4. Step 3

   Rub the whole sheet of cardstock with your embossing buddy™ or dryer sheet to keep stray embossing powder from sticking to the rest of the paper.
   

   

5. Step 4

   Stamp your image randomly in VersaMark™, or as shown here with white pigment ink.
   

   

6. Step 5

   Pour the embossing powder over the images. Tap off excess.

   

7. Heat it.
   

   

8. Step 6

   Brayer over your cardstock with your darkest color.

   

9. Step 7

   Take a paper towel and buff over your embossed images to take away ink that was brayered over them.

   

10. Step 8

    Stamp your image again, but this time with your darkest ink.
    

    

11. Step 9

    Now finish your card. You can use the finished piece of cardstock as a background, or as a card itself.
