Hi Stampers! Today we are going to take a look at a great technique called Faux Silk. The card shown was featured in Stampin' Success, a monthly magazine for Stampin' Up! demonstrators.
My club members made one last night and everyone loved, loved, loved the technique (it is so easy to do!)as well as the look and feel of the card So let's get started.
You will need: light colored cardstock, stamp, ink, glue stick (our Anywhere Glue Stick is the best!), white tissue paper cut somewhat larger than the cardstock, scissors
1. Ink up the image and stamp onto card stock. Allow a few minutes for ink to set and dry.
2.Gently crinkle a piece of tissue paper and then flatten it back out.
3.Cover your image and card stock with adhesive -be sure to give it a good coat all over including the edges.
4. Adhere the tissue paper to your card stock, patting down it down all over to keep it wrinkly. Trim away the excess tissue paper.
For a bolder look, stamp your image onto the tissue paper. Then follow steps 2-5.
Try it out on your own card and let me know what you think of the technique.
Until the next time, HAPPY STAMPING!
Trish
