Happy Monday to you all. I hope that those celebrating July 4th had a good and safe time.
It's "only" four years since I last featured Birgit's
Brick Wall tutorial as TLC650, but I have to admit I've never thought of using it again over those years - and judging by the
Technique Spotlight Gallery, (linked, so you can check it out for inspiration) not very many other people have either ;-). So here we are. I'd like to say that this is very specifically the linked tutorial and NOT embossed, stamped or stencilled brick walls. I know I own at least two embossing folders and definitely two stencils and one stamp - and I would more naturally gravitate towards those. But this is a fun technique and worth revisiting, I hope you will think.
BRICK WALL tutorial
My top tip - try to mark the back in some way that you can identify where the pieces go if it's not going to be obvious from the front! I actually used some Press'n Seal which made it a little easier for me.
Here's a link to our
TLC854 Another Brick in the Wall gallery
Here's my card: Personally, I would have added a little tag with twine for the sentiment, but I made this for DH to send to somebody, and he made it pretty clear that he didn't want any tatty twine cluttering up "his" card.
