Just Us Girls #219 - Technique

Welcome to this week's Just Us Girls Challenge

This week Sue V. has pick a fun technique called Faux Silk for us to try.  I had never tried this before, but it was a lot of fun to do.  I'm adding a link to a Split Coast Stampers video to help you get started.

Here's my card

I started by stamping my image on a piece of white tissue paper with Dark Sage ink.  I let this dry for a couple of minutes and crumpled it up.  After, carefully, smoothing it out, I attached it to a piece of Kraft cardstock that had been run through a Xyron.  I colored the image with Copic markers and cut it out with a Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty-Five die.  I cut a Dark Sage piece of cardstock with another die in the same set.  I used a Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Five die to cut a panel of patterned paper.  The Dark Chocolate piece of cardstock was embossed with a Cuttlebug Wood Grain embossing folder.  The sentiment was stamped with Dark Chocolate ink, and everything was attached to a Dark Sage card base.
