Totally Techniques Blog Hop - Faux Linen

 

Welcome to the TOTALLY TECHNIQUES AUGUST BLOG HOP! This month we are sharing a technique called FAUX LINEN! You'll be able to hop along when you click on the NEXT button down below to visit 6 different blogs featuring projects using FAUX LINEN from all different countries. WOW! You may have just arrived here from Nadine Weiner's blog or maybe you're starting with me - however you got here, please make sure you scroll down and click on the NEXT button to continue on the hop.

I wanted to give you a little sneak peek at a brand new bundle of products that I've been playing with over the last month - this bundle is called FALLING FOR LEAVES. Summer is ending here in Wisconsin and we are headed for fall - my 2nd most favorite season. I can never resist a bundle with leaves in it - I have a soft spot of them! I love the funky design of these - they're something just a little different than the norm.  And of course the RICH fall colors are delicious too!

I have a video tutorial showing you two different ideas for using this FAUX LINEN technique and talk about a few others too - there are so many possibilities - you'll find them here: 

If the video above does not play - click HERE to watch it on my blog.

 

The FAUX LINEN technique tones down the designer series paper and gives it a much softer look with the amazing texture of the technique:

As I'm looking at the photo below I'm thinking this might be a really cool technique for your spooky Halloween cards too!

And make sure you're decorating up those insides just a big - the party should not end when your card is opened.

Crushed Curry and Blackberry Bliss are perfect RICH colors for fall - don't you think?

Dimensions:

• Blackberry Bliss 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" & scrap
• Crushed Curry 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" 5/8" x 2" & scrap
• Country Lane Designer Series Paper 3 3/4" x 5"
• Tissue Paper 6" x 7"

 

And then I stamped right on the tissue paper with this one and wrapped it around Crumb Cake cardstock so the background is colored.

Here's a close up to show you the FAUX LINEN layer:

And the inside is pretty spectacular too:

Dimensions:

• Crumb Cake 11" x 4 1/4" & 4" x 5 1/4"
• Tissue Paper 6" x 7"
• Blackberry Bliss 4 1/8" x 5 1/8" & 1" x 4" & 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
• Whisper White scrap & 3 3/4" x 5" (inside)
