Beautiful items that can be used as an inspiration. I chose Theresa Momber 's stamps "Out West" as the inspration. This set is part of the Gina K. stamps. I brayered the reverse side of the Cuttlebug EF with Real Red. I used Copics to color the saddle.
I had a question about what I brayered. After I embossed the white card stock, there is a positive and negative to the image. The positive side raises UP -- I turn the card stock over and brayer the negative side -- Thay way, the red goes on the background. I DO NOT brayer the embossing folder. -- which some people do.
NOTE: For those people who have NEVER brayered -- Load your brayer on the ink pad, rolling ONE direction. Press hard down to get lots of ink on the brayer. When you go to the paper, roll it LIGHTLY over the paper over and over. Reload your brayer until you get the color you want. In this case you can start right on the paper as we want lots of color.
