Seriously Faux Linen challenged
Stamp divas,
HELP is most needed here in New York. I followed the perfectly understandable tutorial on faux linen technique. I went and bought sanding stuff and chalk ink (OK, and some punches, and wire, and oh yeah some ribbon and perhaps a sticker or too) yesterday at the craft store (don't tell my DH but I spent more there than on groceries....)
I digress. Anyway, so I followed the bloody directions and it came out awful!! Where did I stray? Was my sanding doo-dad too fine? I put the ink DTP, and then I tried it with a sponge, to no avail. So I ditched the chalk and went to good old classic - still a splotchy, goopy mess. The second sanding only made it worse.
If no one helps me I will be forced to call in sick to work tomorrow until I get it right.....it will be on your heads....:p
