Faux Silk


There is no way for the camera to capture the texture of this technique. Only the human eye can make sense of this, but I'll try to describe it: the main area of this card, that is white and stamped in pink, is the same texture as raw silk. The ink saturates the paper and it just cries out to be touched. It is a very easy and fun technique, achieved with the tools you already own! Of course the felt flowers and gold embossing just makes this a celebration of texture! I will be teaching this particular card to a small group of demonstrators when we all travel to Salt Lake City at the end of the month. If you think you might like to know more, just drop me a line!
