FAUX SILK CLASS

Hi and thanks for visiting my blog today . Last Saturday I held an extra class which sparked a lot of interest . We were delighted to welcome Despina to class this week and she thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon as did everyone else . It was such a lovely group who were so engaged and I loved hearing everyone laughing and chattering . It was great that everyone was having so much fun . Now for the cards ! I realised I had not ever taught the Faux Silk technique so we began with a simple card .

Isn't it a stunning card ? The technique is quite simple . Stamp your greeting and sentiment onto tissue paper , make sure it's dry then turn over to the back of it and colour your image , you only need to colour the edges of the flowers . We used our Stampin " Write markers . Then when you are done screw up your tissue paper into a tight ball - what you say ? Yes , seriously ! Then carefully open it out but do not flatten it completely . Adhere to your card base using multi purpose glue and fold over to the back and mitre the corners neatly. Attach ribbon and pearls and you are done . My ladies used different shades of pinks for their cards and I took photos of their beautiful creations
.

Next up was the stepped up versions of this technique . I have shown you the cards I created using that technique previously here

Here are the two cards we created using that technique again .

My ladies cards , aren't they gorgeous ?

For the wedding card everyone could use different colours so chose their favourite combinations and don't they all look amazing ?

To achieve this stunning effect add colour to your tissue paper by either using ink pads or brusho and dry. Dab with your versamatk pad . add your embossing powder of choice and heat using your heat gun and watch the magic happen !

We finished off the wonderful afternoon with an an afternoon tea of home made ricotta and apple cake and a Devonshire tea .Yum ! The next classes are next Thursday 30 th August and next Saturday 1 st September . Contact me for more details , I'd love to introduce you to paper crafting .
