How to do the Easy Faux Silk Technique –

Supplies:
Stamp set of your choice’
Ink colors of your choice
Piece of cardstock of desired size
Multipurpose Liquid Glue
tissue paper either white or colored about 1/2″ larger on all sides than cardstock

Instructions:
1. If you want a design on your faux silk, stamp it now on the piece of tissue paper. Then crumple the tissue paper into a tight ball.
2. Open the ball up and lightly smooth the tissue paper out leaving lots of wrinkles still in it.
3. Apply glue all over the cardstock using the broad end of the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
4. Lay the tissue down on the glue pressing it down into the glue wrinkles and all. Allow to dry.
5. When dry, trim off the excess tissue paper and use this for a layer on your card. You could use a larger piece of cardstock and tissue paper and create a lovely paper for a small gift box.

To Make Card

Supplies:
Stamp Set – Timeless Tropical (151497)
Inks – Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers, Memento Ink Pad, Combo Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends
Cardstock – Crumb Cake 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored and folded at 5 1/2″ for card base, Old Olive 5 1/4″ x 4″, Whisper White 4 7/8″ x 3 7/8″ plus scrap for greeting, Soft Suede scrap
Accessories – Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690), Multipurpose Liquid Glue, white tissue paper, paper snips, SNAIL adhesive, Stampin0 Dimensionals

Instructions:
1. Ink the palm tree stamp with the markers and randomly stamp all over the piece of tissue paper.
2. Follow the instructions for the Faux Silk technique as above.
3. Adhere the Old Olive CS to card front and the faux silk layer to the Old Olive layer.
4. Stamp the greeting and the plumeria flower on scraps of Whisper White CS with memento ink. Color the flower with the Stampin’ Blends and cut out with the paper snips.
5. Die-cut the greeting with the third from inside Stitched So Sweetly rectangle die and use the next size up to cut a layer from the Soft Suede CS. This leaves a fairly large border around the white label so I cut the Soft Suede layer down a bit. I show you how in the video.
6. Layer the labels together with SNAIL and then adhere them to the card front. Add the flower with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
