Technique Tuesday “Y” & “Z”
We had our last Technique Tuesday – "Y" and "Z"
Yarn Brayering
This technique is quite fun and very simple. Easy to make a whole background with the yarn brayering and cut it up and use it for different cards.
Wrap yarn around an acrylic brayer. Sport yarn that is cotton works best. Lightly mist the yarn; then run it over classic ink and then over cardstock.
Here is the card we made in class – thanks to Catherine who designed it!!
