Soft Seedlings Faux Suede Technique

This is one of my monthly class cards.
Isn't it a pretty Fall card!
 
I used the 'Soft Seedlings' stamp set.
And I did the Faux Suede technique over the leaf,
by adding crinkled up tissue paper over it.
Aren't all of the colors in this just so pretty!
How did I do it?
  1. Ink leaf stamp using the Crushed Curry ink pad.
  2. Using a sponge dauber & Cajun Craze ink- tap ink around edges of the leaf.
  3. Using a sponge dauber & Soft Suede ink pad- tap ink onto stems & veins of leaf.
  4. Huff  (breath) onto the stamp to moisten the ink.
  5. Press onto your card stock.
  6. Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue & a sponge- tap a light coat of glue all over ENTIRE piece of cardstock.  Be sure you get the glue along the edges & corners too.
  7. Roll up & crinkle a piece of  wrapping tissue paper & carefully open it up.  You want to keep the wrinkles in it.
  8. Carefully lay the crinkled tissue paper over the top of the leaf & press it down.  DO NOT smooth it- as you want it wrinkled!  So pressing straight downward to make sure it is stuck all over the entire image- including the edges & corners.  
  9. Now you can trim the excess tissue paper off around the edges using scissors or you can fold the edges to the back side & leave them.
