Michelle Zindorf is the queen of backgrounds and brayers! On her blog she shares step by step detailed photos and instructions on how she makes each of her stunning cards. She uses a rubber brayer and ink pads to achieve alot of these fantastic backgrounds. A brayer is something alot of us have probably bought and then just stuck in a drawer and forgot about (I know mine is pretty dusty:)) but get out that poor unused brayer, or go get one at the craft store if you don’t have one and visit Michelle’s blog for tons of inspiration and you’ll never look at your brayer the same again!
