This was the third of the three faux fabric techniques from my August classes. Remember when I posted the treasure chests here to show you all what I made for some convention swaps? Well that was using the faux alligator technique as well. But for this class project, I wanted to make a masculine card that kinda looked like a wallet from the outside, and this is the card.
Very plain, very classic, very ‘manly’. It is really all about the design created with the stylus and embossing powder. Think of the possibilities - doodle through the embossing powder, draw someone’s name, even draw a simple heart or birthday cake for a sweet little fun surprise. You can also take an uninked stamp and lift away the embossing powder (be advised it doesn’t work with very very detailed stamp images, but it works GREAT with line images).
Here are a few more photos to show the decorated envelope and the inside space. I used the TAC Script background stamp to create a kind of collage-y feel to the envelope flap and then a much lighter stamping of the same stamp for the inside of the card.
