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.

   

Here are the measurements & supplies.

stamp set:  'Soft Seedlings'

card stock:

• Cajun Craze- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4" & fold in half for card base
