brayered backgrounds + a few of my favorite essentials by ellen sets

What do you get when you use a rubber brayer and ink pads on white cardstock? A quick & easy background for handmade cards!

I love how using a brayer creates custom patterned paper with the look of texture! It's great for stamping on!

I used Mondo Sakura, a much-loved but not much-stamped set from my Essentials by Ellen collection. I'm a little intimidated by the coloring so I gave myself a little wiggle room by creating a colored & textured background with a rubber brayer. 

You can see more in this quick video...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
