Faux silk

This is the last of the mini VSN Fashion Show challenges. Stacey (Little Lou's) challenged everyone to use the faux silk technique on our cards. Red tissue and my favorite Asian stamps seemed to be the perfect combination for this challenge. Faux silk is pretty easy - you stamp on tissue, crumpled it up, then spread it back out and adhere it to cardstock using your Xyron, a glue stick or even mod podge. I used red tissue on red cardstock and my glue stick - a fun, fast way to add a cool effect to your card. Tomorrow is the last day to upload your cards for the mini VSN Fashion Show. If you want to play, check out the challenges HERE! And don't forget to join us for VSN Fashion Weekend April 4-5.
Supplies:
Stamps: Artfully Asian
Paper: river rock, black, red, tissue
Ink: Stazon black
Accessories: ribbon, snaps, tissue
