Faux Silk Technique with Snowflakes!

 

This is one of the cards everyone made last weekend at my Holiday Extravaganza.

I love snowflake images & I love them in Navy for some reason.

If you look closely at the front of this card can you tell

that I glued some Tissue Paper to it?

This technique is called- Faux Silk.
