Sometimes it just fun to try out a new technique and after recently celebrating 10 years as Stampin’ Up! demonstrator its not often I see something I have not tried before. So it was lovely to try out this fabulous technique of Faux Tie Dye or Drip dye.
Faux Tie Die thank You card
I saw this technique using mulberry paper on YouTube and wondered if it would work on our lovely Fluid 100 card so I set about trying it out on my recent Facebook live. Sadly technology was not my friend that day so my Live is in two parts. Part 1 & Part 2. This particular card was made on Part 2
All these lovely layers are made with just ONE Gorgeous grape Re-inker, some water and a heat gun !
One dry the piece was embossed with the Pretty Flowers Embossing folder. It really is just so pretty!
The sentiment is die cut using the Amazing Thanks dies
Then finished with some white Bakers Twine and some white Classic Matte Dots
