Happy April! Time for a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash! This time we want you to break out your technique stash and make something "faux"….yeah, I was stumped too, but I found this great tutorial that saved my day!!
First off I used this adorable new image from Sylvia at Wee Stamps. I printed her on kraft card stock and colored her with Prismacolor pencils.
Here's the inside with a generous writing panel.
I used papers from my stash from MME (probably my favorite company for paper). My only embellishments are the pearls in the corners.
And here is my faux technique. I made faux patina on the "banner" behind the image. Too bad my image was so big it covered up most of it because it really did turn out pretty good. I followed the tutorial in the link above. Her instructions were very good. (thankfully, cuz I am not a technique junkie and I was a bit stumped!)
So now its your turn to wow us with your faux abilities!
I think that's about it. Thanks for taking a peek!
Blessings & Hugs,
Michelle
