Faux Silk - Loaded
Added to Favorite
xxxx

Photo Details
Poster: meerkat3

 This is my attempt at Faux Silk. My two personal challenges were (1) which adhesive to use since my glue sticks dried up and (2) how to finish the card.

I ended up using Liquid Glue for my adhesive, so I think some of the 'silk' look got schmooshed. As for finishing, I had to stop when I added the photo corners and brads. I need a fork lift to move this thing!

I got the ribbon-through-the-holes idea from the finished project on this entry in Nicole Heady's blog: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capt...2008/01/4.html.

TFL!

Beautiful card! I like your choice of colors. I should read up on how to do Faux Silk. Your stitching makes it resemble silk fabric even more!

Your card is absolutely stunning! I love loaded cards that have heft when you hold them. Your style elements are wonderful, and the colors are compeling. TFS

This is so lovely. I love the ribbon through the slits in the sides. And your colors are terrific.
