May 2014 - Faux Silk Technique

 

Stamp on tissue, crinkle it up and adhere it to cardstock for a soft silky look.

Faux Silk Technique

·        Stamp on Tissue (Ink will bleed through the tissue, color carefully)

·        Let it dry

·        Crinkle it up

·        Smooth it out CAREFULLY

·        Adhere it to cardstock for a soft silk look. We are using Stampin’ Up! Glue sticks, first time I have ever used these and I think that they are just great for a project like this!
