Its so aggravating when you see something you shoulda done AFTER you upload your card. I wish I hada used wider ribbon on this twisted challenge. I was horsing around with left overs and that is why I have two different styles of stick on brads. This technique was something I've never tried before and I gotta say, I enjoyed it very much. Les, you're off the list!!! Following the steps I learned in the tutorial found on SCS Resources, I stamped a background image on tissue paper; ran a nutral colored CS through my Zyron machine and after crumpling the tissue stamped image and spreading it back out, I laid it over that to adhere.

Holy schmokes Tater Tot! "Horsing around with leftovers"- that should be a technique challenge for us- and I know you would rock it! Yeah, that Les, she made us grow, huh? What a beautiful card! (I like the ribbon!) Love your wee blooms- Texas Bluebells? Only saw them once, and loved them. Will try to get this done after work. Beautiful job Sista! LYMI!

Well, you certainly provided us with some beautiful gifts of your talent today - both of these cards with the faux silk technique turned out beautifully - love these little blue flowers and how they look with this technique - Hope I have half the success you had when I try this tomorrow. Love how both these cards look, Sis!!

You did two cards with this hard challenge - wow! This is very pretty - love the blues and the extras you added (even your skinny ribbon - lol).
