Brayer comparison

I'm still working on my white embossing.  When I used the hard rubber brayer (red one), I got a halo around my image.  When I used the soft foam brayer (black one), the ink transferred right up to the image.

 

It took repeated brayering to get a nice image.  When I was satisfied with the results, I wiped the excess ink from the white embossed image with a tissue.

 

 

When the ink had dried completely, I used an acrylic template and craft knife to cut a circle of the finished product.  I didn't have a die that was large enough for this image.

 

These circles were quite large, so I chose to just adhere them to a white card base, with a simple sentiment.  The top 2 are on glossy paper and the lower 2 are on matte paper.  You can control the intensity of the color by the number of times you brayer on the ink.
