It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC59)! This week I am hosting! I am challenging you all to "fake it"! We are using faux techniques this week on our cards and projects. There are a list of many amazing faux ideas in theTutorial section at SCS. Check them out here. So, create something faux fabulous with us this week. We would love to see what you create!
I chose to make Faux Silk. I am using Flourishes Sweet Peas and Tag Lines stamp sets. I used regular tissue paper that I would put in with a birthday gift bag. I stamped my smaller sweet peas onto the white tissue paper using Momento Tuxedo Ink. I colored the image using Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Hollyhock and Meadow. I had a difficult time with the copics only because the tissue paper had a tendancy to bleed a bit. Of course, I left it because this is what real silk would do, too. So, this bleeding sort of gives it a real faux finish. Makes it more plausible.I cut out the image with a circle nestabilities. I cut out the same image using Flourishes Classic White cardstock. I put glue stick all over the white cardstock and adhered my tissue. It is very important not to smooth out all of the wrinkles as that is what gives it the faux silk look. I ran both back through with the same die cut only together this time to get rid of any frayed edges and unevenness. I think it sort of set the creases for me too. I love this technique and would love to try it again. It is definitely one of the more easier techniques to try.
This card is also for SCS Color Combo Challenge (CC263)! This week is all about Pink Creamy Durangos! Pretty In Pink, Creamy Caramel, and Dusty Durango! You have to see the link and picture to believe this one! This week's dessert option is LEAVES!
