Happy Halloween! A different Halloween for many, to be sure, but any excuse to eat extra treats and play a few tricks, right? ;) The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers have a treat AND a trick for you, and that would be our new challenge, F is for FauX. Lots of faux techniques out there to discover, or perhaps you have a favourite. My pick is faux metal:
I die cut the large Merry Christmas sentiment three times from white cardstock and adhered them together for a solid base before I started some heavy-duty heat embossing! Four coats of silver embossing gave me the metal-like finish I was hoping for. For the small snowflakes, I used two layers of cardstock and three layers of embossing. I also added a border of silver embossing to my red cardstock layer and the sentiment panel.
Supplies: Neenah white & Recollections red cardstock, Viva Las VegaStamps I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas stamp, Versamark & Memento ladybug ink, Ranger silver embossing powder, CUTplorations Merry Christmas Word Art & Sunny Studio Stamps snowflake dies
