Embedded Vintage Vogue

This is such a fun technique---have you tried it yet??  We stamped flowers from the Vintage Vogue stamp set on scrap paper, cut them out and glued them on our card front.  Then we ran them through our Big Shot with a square lattice embossing folder & wow!  It looks like you've got real pressed flowers on your card!   I'm not sure it's possible for me to make a card without my Big Shot anymore.  If you don't have one, you should get one----check out my website on the left for more details on how to get one!

Good morning!  Do you like new techniques??  Me too!  This is a technique called Faux Silk.  It's a fun technique that can be used a couple different ways for different looks, which is why I have 2 pieces shown from this card.  It only takes tissue paper, a good glue and some stamps & ink!  My Club gals had fun with this card making the deer appear in the fog or making the wolf from this stamp in the fog looking out at the deer.   If you don't own this Stampin' Up! set "Nature Silhouettes", you really should think about purchasing it----it's a super set!  With Father's Day coming up, it makes great masculine cards for all the men in your life.  Email me or go to my website link to purchase it!
