Sponge Brayer Background Technique Creates Quick Color

Use a sponge brayer background technique to create quick color by Darla Olson at inkheaven

Easy Sponge Brayer Background Technique

I’m not a huge fan of doing lots of coloring on my handmade cards. As a result, I love techniques that provide quick color for my stamped images. This sponge brayer background technique does just that and it’s very easy to do!

Things you will need to create a background like the one above:

  • Sponge brayer
  • A template or mask to define background
  • Silicone mat or other surface to adhere mask and cardstock to
  • 3 ink pads in colors that coordinate

Watch the Facebook Live video replay below for a demonstration of the technique:
