Clean & Simple 3 Card Class – Day 2 Faux Letterpress

I’m so excited about my new card.  I had so much fun creating this card, I can’t stop smiling.

Faux Letterpress is another technique that I learned in my online card class.  Shari Carroll taught us how to create this fabulous look of  letterpress without the texture.  I used nothing but ink and it gave this faux letterpress technique a perfectly smooth one layer card.  I love it!!

Clean & Simple 3 Card Class – Day 1 Faux Effects

My new online card class, Clean & Simple 3 started today.  I’m so excited.  It was packed with different faux effects.  My card today was inspired by Kristina Werner lesson on faux metal elements.  Creating this card took sometime and trial and error.  My metal circles refused to stay circles but it has grown on me.

The faux metal circle was created using silver embossing powder, circle mask and a heart stamp.  Its amazing what you can create when you put your mind to it.

I also used VersaMark to do my embossing.

I had a great time learning this new technique and I really enjoyed trying out this new technique.  I’m going to continue perfecting this technique so that I can use it on other cards as well.

Let me know what you think of my faux metal element card.  If you have any question regarding how I created this look drop me a line.
