Here is my first sample with this weekend’s sketch. I really liked playing with this layout.
I used this card for next week’s tutorial on Splitcoast. It will be for about the Faux Silk Technique.
I started out stamping a piece of tissue paper with the stem stamp from Embrace Life in Black Palette Ink.
I then carefully colored the leaves in with Aqua Painter and Old Olive Classic ink. The ink will bleed a bit through the tissue paper and run easily. Once it dried, I crunched up the tissue paper.
Next it applied glue with my glue stick all over a 3 1/4″ square of Whisper White cardstock. I flattened out the tissue paper over the cardstock and cut the excess tissue paper off at the edges of the cardstock.
I layered this on a 3 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock and paper pierced the edges of the White piece.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 10″ piece of Old Olive cardstock folded in half. The next layer is a 1 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Soft Sky Prints Designer Paper. I added a small Photo corner tot he bottom right of that strip and topped it with three Antique Brass Brads.
The sentiment was stamped in Black Palette Ink on a 1 3/8″ Whisper White circle, that was layered on a Black Scallop circle. I attached a piece of Antique Brass Hardware to the left of that scallop circle, taped the sentiment layer down on the Faux Silk layer, punched a hole through with my paper piercing tool and tied May Arts Ribbon through it.
Last I attached the Faux Silk layer along with the sentiment on the card base with dimensionals.
