September's Top Winner will receive 3 digital sentiments made by yours
truly, and each stamper who's card is showcased will receive 1 digital
sentiment made by yours truly! ;) Here's the best part--THE WINNERS get
to choose what they want their sentiment to say and what style! If
this doesn't sound like something you'd like, you could choose from some
sentiments that I already have made. :)
This
is how it will work--please email me within 5 days with the
sentiment(s) that you would like and choose from the following styles:
classic (ie Times New Roman type font), elegant (ie cursive font),
whimsical (ie swirly/kid type font), or fun (handwriting font). More
information will be mentioned when the winners are announced!
Faux Leather Using Masking Tape
Materials Needed
 |
| Not all materials pictured. |
Masking Tape
Cardstock
Brown Inks
Sponge
Clear Embossing Powder
Heat Gun
Embellishments, etc. to finish card
"How To"
1. Add small pieces of torn masking tape to your cardstock panel until the panel is filled up completely. It's okay to add some pieces on top of each other to cover up small holes.
2. Sponge brown ink on top of the masking tape. I used two colors of ink, but you can make it as dark or as light as you want to.
3. Cover the panel with dry embossing powder. You do NOT need to add sticky stuff. The embossing powder just naturally sticks to the masking tape.
4. Heat emboss your panel.
And now, some more samples from the Crew~

you read the rules before linking up! Their located under the
Challenge Rules up at the top! Happy crafting! :)

Another great technique Mynnette, one that I've wanted to try for a while now, and never quite got around to doing it. I've had lots of fun.

What a great technique. Must find our masking tape :)
Wow, Mynette, definately a go try. When you say masking tape is that the double sided sticky we use for cards as not sure when you said the embossing powder sticks to the tape, was wondering before I go using heaps of double sided tape...luv annie.xx
Thanks for the info sweetie...thought that is what you meant but wasn't sure if it was the same this side of the world...:)
Going out to hubby's shed to see where he has put some and really want to give this a go for the challenge. Sorry not been around but most of my creating is done at night now and after a full on day with dad I don't get to do that much...but this is something of interest to me...thanks will keep in touch...luv annie xx
Thanks for the inspiration AND the tutorial! I've linked my project up, but am entering more than 10 challenges, so I know I'm not eligible to win. I just wanted to share my first attempt at masking tape faux leather (it's a long post--the leather part is the Year 3 panel). Have a fab weekend!
thanks for the turtorial, it was fun to make
hugs Linda

Another fabulous challenge Mynnette, sorry it has taken me so long to finally enter.
Thanks for picking my card last month, sorry I didn't say so before but i didn't notice as I didn't have internet access for a while.
