Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing cards made using a Brayer. I have chosen to use the Sea Turtle stamp set and some cling film or seran wrap!
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the sea turtle card. You will need:
Parakeet Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Pretty Peacock card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card
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.

The inked panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock panel and then to the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White. The whole piece was then glued to the Parakeet Party card front.

The large turtle from the Sea Turtle stamp set was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto scrap Basic White card and then trimmed it out using sharp Scissors. I added it to the card front on Dimensionals.
