Today's Twisted Sister challenge issued by Leslie (Marleygo) was to use the Faux Silk Technique...oh my goodness! If not for Beate, I would have been lost! Please see her wonderful instructions here:Beate's Tutorial, Faux Silk. Hope you want to play along with us- please add TSC0218 to your key words.
This stamp is from a photograph, titled "Lizabeth" by ArtDeclassified. I thought it would be the perfect image for this technique, and I did not need to color it at all. Leslie, I loved this technique and will try it again! Thanks so much!
I also used the Dirty Dozen theme of "Days of our Lives" because this image reminded me of the days I spent digging in the dirt with my mom. We both loved to garden and would forage in the woods, bringing home flowers to plant around the house in the mountains. Good memories. You can play along with this theme and add CT0211 to your key words so we can all enjoy your "days" too!
Thanks for looking!

Such a pretty glimpse into your childhood Pat - love shines through this one loud and clear. OM - I love playing the TSCs but this one may be a bit too hard for me. I have already torn three images, put one on the paper backwards, and now I realized the one that I had that was halfway ok doesn't have adhesive on every little spot! I finished it but it doesn't look anything like I had envisioned.

Well, Sis, after looking at this, I find it hard to believe you never tried it before - it certainly turned out to be gorgeous in every way - you found the perfect image to go with your flowers and DP in this "Lizabeth" stamp. Love that brad embellished piece peeking out the top and thehint of lace at the bottom - Perfect!!
