The Twisted Sistahs Challenge for this week was presented by irishgreensue. Greenie asked us to use the faux leather technique as shown in the resources section of SCS. I only have blue masking tape, and since I just purchased airline tickets, I can't afford to buy ANYTHING extra until the middle of next month. Instead of using that technique, I used a Sizzix Texturz Plate (Leather) to create the leather look on my photo corners. I used a Versamark pen to cover them with the ink and then heat embossed with Clear EP to get a little shine. I layered them and added Vintage Brads. The mat beneath the main image is faux leather as well, but it isn't embossed. If you'd like to join us for this challenge, put some faux leather on a card and use TSC0427 in your keywords. Thanks for taking a peek!!
