1 Tag, 3 Techniques

I've been really intrigued by all the stamping techniques out there, so I was especially excited to try the current challenge at Stampin' Dymonz Creative Space, which calls for you to use three techniques on a single tag: Resist, Brayer, and Masking.

Masking, I can do (with much thanks to adhesive masking paper). Resisting, which involves clear embossing powder, is a new favorite of mine that I'm still struggling to master. But I don't own a brayer, and until recently I thought it was fairly unnecessary. But now I really, really want one! I didn't want to miss out on this challenge just because I didn't own one of the necessary tools, so I made my own brayer-type thingy by wrapping papertowels onto a toy plastic rolling pin I happened to have. It's a poor substitute for the real thing, but it did give me a chance to experience the technique.
