Technique Lovers Class – Faux Suede

This 'n' That

29 Jan

DSCN0631 copy
For my upcoming Technique Lover's Class in February, one of the techniques everyone will do is Faux Suede.  I remember learning this technique years ago, but Donna Griffith from Stampin' Up! recently showed an adorable card, that I totally had to case.  She used a rhinestone brad in the center of the flower, and I used an epoxy brad instead.  At class it will be a button and gingham since the epoxy brads might not make it in time for class, they have been very popular, and are on back order, so I don't want to risk it.

What do you think? Cute eh?

    Yes, so totally cute!! I LOVE that flower and most of all, how you used the sparkly chipboard for something other than a Christmas project. Clever girl!

    Hard to know for sure, but it could be a male grosbeak. I live in South Dakota and we used to get them all the time. The females are pretty much drab, the male is the star – so pretty in the snow. It looks to be the same size as the one in your pic. Sometimes I don't worry so much what it is, I just love the beauty of it all. Oh ! and I love the flower on the birthday card !! Too cool.

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
