Inking Big Blossom - full, even coverage? *merged*
Does anyone have good suggestions on inking up the Big Blossom stamp. I've been treating it like a background stamp, but that leaves lines from the edge of the stamp pad. How can I get full, even coverage?

Try using a brayer to ink up the stamp. I do this for background stamps and it works great.

Or, try using craft ink. That usually provides much more even coverage on large expanses of rubbah!

Inking Big Blossom
Hi,
I don't have Big Blossom, but I like it and might get it. For those of you that do have it, is there a good way to ink it without showing a bunch of stamp pad lines or other lines? I HATE when I don't get a smooth coverage, etc. Is a roller the right way to go?
Thanks,
Cindy

Yes, a brayer is the best way to ink this stamp for just the reasons you cited! |

That is how I ink up the background stamps...so much easier than smooshin the pad around  I don't have big blossom, but I would think that the brayer would work... __________________ Julie |

plus it is so much faster. I will use a brayer on mine as I do with my background stamps.

Use your brayer - it's what I use for my background stamps when I want it to be smooth!
Or better yet - try kissing - and then you'll WANT a pattern!

Thanks... I saw some cute cards in the gallery with Big Blossom, and you could see the "pad edge marks" on some of them. It didn't ruin the design, but it's a shame after all that work to have to see that on there.

I have a brayer & have only used it once. Don't you feel like you are wasting a bunch of ink using it? Boy, that sounds cheap!!

Which brayer attachment do you use? The foam?
