SU Sponge brayer

[shirlb19]

Hi everyone,

I am contemplating getting the new sponge brayer and would appreciate anyone's thoughts about using it. Do you like it?


Thanks

It's excellent for making ombre type backgrounds and for blending colors on a stamp and for stencils. Because it is foam and not rubber you do not get the same complete coverage on cardstock that you may be used to with a rubber brayer. You get two handles and four sponges, ink washes out of the sponges very well so they should last a long time. Here is a card where I used the brayer two ways: blended three colors of ink on the large stamp and colored the background blue. I like the more blend-y look you get with the sponge brayer.

I have it, used it a couple of times and that's it. I found that it took me too long to get dark coverage through a stencil. It's OK but not a "must have" item for me.

If you want a softer look the sponge is great! For dark color coverage pull out the ol' rubber/plastic one!

I was thinking of getting it too!
