Faux Linen Technique

Hi Friends! I have a fun card to share with you today, using the “Faux Linen” technique.  All you need is your stamps, inks and a little white tissue paper!

1. Using the
   sponge, add Watermelon Wonder ink to the Irresistibly Floral Designer
   Paper.  Create a darker shade towards the centre, moving the colour out towards the edges until you achieve your desired
   shade. Adhere to the Basic Black card base.
2. Be certain your
   work surface is covered since the ink and markers will bleed through the thin
   tissue paper.  Stamp the flower in center
   of the tissue paper using the Basic Black Archival ink. Let dry. 
3. Colour in the
   flower using the Watermelon Wonder marker for the petals. Colour in the flower centre using the Daffodil
   Delight marker. Colour in the stem using the Pear Pizzazz marker for the
   stem.  Let the tissue paper dry
   completely before moving on to the next step. 
   
4. Crumble up the
   tissue paper into a small ball. 
   Carefully unfold it, being careful not to rip the image. 
5. Place the
   Whisper White cardstock layer on the Silicone Craft Sheet. Add liquid glue to a
   corner of the Silicone Craft Sheet.  Using
   a clean sponge, pick up glue and swipe it across the Whisper White layer,
   covering the entire piece. Be sure you have glue on the corners. 
6. Add the tissue
   paper image over the Whisper White layer. 
   Tap the tissue paper onto the cardstock to adhere it.  You want all the wrinkles so don’t smooth the
   tissue paper out as you adhere it.  Place
   close attention to the outside covers so they are well adhered.  Let dry.
7. Gently peel off
   the image from the Silicone Craft Sheet. 
   Once the glue is dry, you can easily remove it from the Silicone Craft
   Sheet by rubbing it with your finger. 
8. Using your
   scissors, cut around the perimeter of the Whisper White cardstock and trim off
   the excess tissue paper.  Adhere the
   image layer to the Basic Black layer. 
   Adhere the layers to the card base on an angle using Dimensionals. 
9. Stamp the
   greeting using the Basic Black Archival ink on the Whisper White banner.  Create a banner tip on the right side using
   your scissors. Adhere the banner to the image layers, as shown, using
   Dimensional.
