FAUX SILK TECHNIQUE

I've been busy making cards for all the ladies in my Stamp Club and I've whipped up about 9 of these cards and am yet to make two more!

This month's technique was Faux Silk but I also included a little bit of Faux Seersucker on the card as well. I wanted this month's card to have the Shabby Chic look. I'm happy with the way it turned out as were all the ladies that came along to the Technique Club day.







Colours used were Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Cameo Coral, Old Olive and Whisper White cardstock. Ink colours were Cameo Coral,Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Creamy Caramel. I used the Eyelet Border, Five Petal, 1/2 " Circle and Scallop Circle Punches and the swirl and leaves are Sizzix dies.

I used the Crimper to create the Faux Seersucker effect and the ribbon is 5/8" Striped Grosgrain in Pink Pirouette sponged with Creamy Caramel ink. You can also see that I've used the Jumbo Eyelets and the Build A brads. Last but not least here are the stamp sets ... En Francais, Frames with a Flourish, Weathered, Polka Dot, Best Yet, Eastern Blooms and Baroque Motifs.
