Welcome to the Faux hop! Hahaha! It’s the real dealio, but it’s all about the faux! This month’s technique is all about the faux look. Stitching, textures, and such. I am positive that you will get some great ideas from this blog hop! Today you may have come from Alyson’s blog, or you may have started here. Either way, it is a circle hop, and you should get back to where you started! If you get lost along the way, you can check out the list on Melissa’s blog!
Today I wanted to do something a little different than what you might expect to see with the Blossom paper packet. I was inspired by this card that I found on pinterest. I just had so much fun making this “messy” card! And it’s so so so simple!
I used Green Apple, Nectarine, and pewter inks. I used a few pieces from just one of the B&T papers. I used a few different stamp sets to make this fun card, I’ll list them below for you. For the faux stitching, I used a stamp and my paper piercer to add the holes that a sewing machine would have, had it been real stitching. I think it gives that extra little dimension! We’ll be making this card tonight for my FB Live at 6pm! I hope you will join me!
I even did more than my usual on the inside of this card! I love how the liner pops with all the background! Make sure to come and watch the live! (or the replay!)
Thanks so much for hopping along! I know you will like what Haley has up for you next! See you next time!
