Default How do you use the Plaid Maker?

I mean, what do you use to get the ink on? Do you use the foam brayer? I was using a sponge but it's hard work. What sort of brayer do you use?

I bought one but never used it!!! But I have used one at a make and take and we used the foam brayer. The ink pad needs to be pretty wet and inky though, so the brayer picks up a good amount of ink. And I had to press hard on the brayer to get the color to come out the way I wanted it too. I always figured I would try it at home with a sponge or maybe just run a spot down the lines (mine are not so inky so maybe that would work OK). But we used a brayer to answer your question.

Erin I have to say I LOVE mine! I'm a scrapbooker so I use craft ink mostly, it sponges on pretty nice but can be a little messy I just dab dab dab my way across and then drag the spong along the template and my stripes are perfect every time!!!
