TLC241 Faux Suede

Hi everyone. When I look at the date today, I can hardly believe that it's October, but yet, there we are. The leaves are changing from their vibrant green to beautiful shades of gold, red and browns. Ah yes - Fall is here.

I'm quickly going to share my project that I made for today's Try a New Technique which is called Faux Suede. It's a fun technique if you want the look of suede without the bulkiness (and cost) of the real stuff. The Faux Suede technique works great for accent panels, and also makes outstanding punched embellishments so I hope that you will take a moment to check out the TLC thread on Splitcoaststampers.com and perhaps try your hand at the technique.

I combined some patterned paper along with my faux suede piece and added some lovely Zva Creative color pearls. It's unusual for me not to use any ink of stamps on a project, but since I had the papers and the large scalloped kraft embellishment (received at CHA and now can't remember from where) - I figured to make quick work of this project.

I used some of the "faux suede" paper and punched a few flowers to add as embellishments and topped with a few dew drops and my sentiment in the center flower which is from Making Memories. Easy peesy - I love cards like that! Thanks for looking in.
