I crumpled up a scrap piece of cling film and wrapped it around the roller of the Brayer keeping as many of the wrinkles in place as possible. I inked up the cling film by running the Brayer over the open Lost Lagoon ink pad a number of times to pick up the ink.

I rolled the brayer, multiple times, over the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card, changing direction as I went. To clean off the residual ink, I rolled the cling film wrapped brayer over scrap paper. I inked up again with Pretty Peacock and rolled the ink multiple times across the Basic White card stock. I repeated the whole process again with Parakeet Party ink, building up the colour as I went.

The sea weed images , from the Oceanfront and Sending Smiles stamp sets, were stamped in either Parakeet Party or Pretty Peacock ink to add even more texture to the panel.
