THURSDAY

Back again today.  The card I am sharing today is one made by Tiffany who demonstrated at our stamp fest.  Stampin' Up has brought back the Glossy Card Stock and I am so glad. There are so many things you can do with glossy.  Here is one of her samples.

This is called the Faux Woodgrain technique.  This is really very simple to do.  Just open your ink pad and make sure the lid is clicked into place so it doesn't slide around.  Then take your pad and simply slide it down your glossy paper with a direct to paper approach.  Then go back and use just the edges of the ink pad to slide some "lines" or "grain" onto the paper.  You can use one color or multiple colors together for a different look.  Let your paper dry for a few minutes before adding more layers.

I will definitely be trying to make some of these.  I love that we can bring back some old techniques.

See you again Friday for my regular Friday post.
