One of the things I love about being on the Our Daily Bread Designs Design Team is that I get to learn new techniques from the stampers on the team. DT member Angie Crockett did a fabulous tutorial on a faux silk technique that I just had to try on a scrapbook page. You can view her tutorial
here. Using the technique, you can make beautiful background papers from tissue paper (ordinary gift wrap tissue paper) and cardstock. Since I'm not sure if tissue paper is acid free, I did spray it with Archival Mist before I started. Here's how my page turned out...
Supplies:
Butterfly Patterned Tissue Paper
Cardstock
Our Daily Bread Designs Sweet Friendship, Fleur de Lis Borders & Butterfly Stamps
ODBD Butterfly Die
Want 2 Scrap Gems
Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Lace Rectangle Die
Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles Large Die
Stickles
Tim Holtz Distress & Colorbox Chalk Inks
Check out the tutorial, give it a try, and enter your creation in the
ODBD Faux Silk Challenge.
I'd love to see what you create.
