Faux Leather, Bleaching and Masking Techniques

Saturday, April 18, 2009 Diane taught 9 ScrapShack girls three fun techniques. She had printed out the instructions before hand so we could follow along and then include it with our Techniques Album.

FAUX LEATHER
Cover cardstock with strips of masking tape.

Rub with ink and wipe off excess. Cover with versamark and clear embossing powder then heat.




Here are some of the completed Faux Leather cards:







BLEACH TECHNIQUE
Use bleach in this technique similar to a stamp pad where you pour a generous amount on paper towels or just dip your paint brush in the bleach. The bleach is not diluted so splashes could turn out to be another bleach technique. It is a good idea to label your bleach brush.


We did a lot of experimenting with stamps and different colored cardstock. Some worked better than others. Look how different ours came out:




Last we learned a technique called MASKING.





The Mother's Day card swap was fun as well. Here are just 2 of the cards.
