Faux Silk-For YOU!

Hi Friends... Todays Techn{ink} Tuesday
Faux Silk

This Techn{ink} took less than 2 minutes and although I was a 
little uncertain about it in the beginning, Im so excited about how it came out. 

Lets get started




First you will take a clean piece of Tissue Paper and cut it down 
to the dimension you will need, I used a 5" x 5 1/2"

You can use which ever stamp you would like, but 
here I used Music Notes (#120327) with 
a little help from my Stampin Around Handle (#102971)
and dipped into More Mustard (#126964)

Once that was dried I crinkled and wrinkled it into the little ball you see
I unwrapped and did it a couple times to get my Tissue Paper 
very wrinkled


I simply unwrapped the Tissue Paper
**do not flatten and roughen out any wrinkles**
and I adhered to my 4 1/2" x 5" Very Vanilla cardstock
using my Glue Stick (#104045)

Once this was done, placing the card upside down to avoid ripping
I trimmed this portion of my card to its final size of 3 3/4" x 5" 
using my Stampin Trimmer (#126889)

After adding a few embellishments, I attached to a final cardstock 
of Not Quite Navy (#101722) cut to 8" x 5 1/2" and folded in half


Heres our final card and I enhanced the photo a bit to show the Faux Silk Detail. 
I think it came out quite beautiful. This card just sings to me, 
I hope you enjoyed this quick
