Hi! This card was made for today's Ways To Use It Challenge: A Faux Feel. Participants were to add elements that were FAUX texture.
I decided that Christmas Borders would be perfect for this technique, as I wanted an Olde World 'feel' with this set. I sponged in Burnt Umber to create a look of texture. I also used designer paper that had deep colors with washed out areas. I sponged on more Burnt Umber on the papers to get a deeper variation of color.
The image was ink in VersaMark and inked in Burnt Umber and embossed in clear onto Wonderful Watercolor Paper. I colored in the images with an aqua painter and Palette re-inkers. Next, I punched out a MS snowflake and sponged on color for faux texture. This also fits this week's Stampin' B's Challenge! and the RedDivas Challenge.
