This is the faux techinique I decided t use today. "Faux Suede". A friend showed me how to do this beautiful and easy technique.
I embossed SU's Manhattan Flower onto some Cream colord CS. I then chose Palette Hybrid inks in Cognad, Landscape, Chartreuse and Sunflower.
I used the underside of the embossed image. Then you rub on the ink pads going from the lightest to your darkest color. Be sure to leave some spaces with each color so that you don't have a muddy one color finish.
This is quick and easy and looks wonderful.
I also did an easel fold on this card and the inside panel is embossed with SU's Elegant Bouquest and the edge is punched.
I added a sentiment tag using my Nesties and a ribbon to finish.
All inks and papers can be found at Marks Finest Papers
