I've been promising you all to show you how I create my brayered sunsets with ink refills and I finally got a chance to work on that video tutorial last night. You'll have to forgive the lack of light....I was using natural light from the window and the clouds went in front of the sun as it was going down and then my batteries ran out right near the end of my first run. I had to re-cut everything and start a whole new video. But it's FINALLY done! Thanks for your patience.
You'll find that this technique is so incredibly easy and the cool thing about it is that you don't need a rainbow ink pad to create your brayering. If you have ink refills, you can create whatever color scheme you want! I personally love to do sunsets, especially with silhouette images.
For this card, I used a GinaK set - Many Wishes. The cardstock base is Gina's new Pumpkin Spice and then I added a Black Onyx layer. I embossed with black embossing powder and used black ink for the greeting, which also comes from the Many Wishes set.
The ink refills I used are Cranberry Crisp, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Sun. I really love how these colors create the perfect sunset.
I'd love to see your brayered creations if you try this technique out!
Happy Creating!

Thank you, Pam! I don't think people realize how easy it is until they actually see it done. :) I'd love to see what you create when you do it!
