WT906 - Faux Suede - 07/21/22

[ravengirl]

Hello and Happy Thursday, Friends!

This week, we are using a time-tested technique that I love! We are finding ways to use faux suede. It's an easy way to add some interest to your card. Essentially, you weaken the fibers of the card stock you intend to turn to "suede" and then peel apart the layers of the paper. I run my paper between the edge of my bone folder and my thumb, like when I am curling ribbon. Others use a crimper to weaken the fibers of the paper. I'll link a previous challenge with a more detailed description.

A technique that I haven't done for a LONG time, Toni. I thought it combined well with some of today's DTGD22 challenges. Thanks.
