Today I am sharing a quickie card I made using my new PaperArtsy stamps and Infusions powdered inks. The latest topic at the blog is "fabric." Which comes just when I have stored all of my fabric in the studio merger. I scoured and scoured my room for remnants, but only came up with these torn strips that I dye for ribbons. I tucked them neatly behind my layers so the fringe would show.
I experimented with infusions on heavy weight tissue packaging. This particular tissue had a lot of wax on it and didn't quite absorb the ink, so the color was very mottled by the time I dried it. However, I still ended up with those bits of color specific to Infusions. :)
I decided to tear the tissue with my ruler and glue it onto kraft. I love embossing torn kraft edges. I added some faux stitching and layered on a debossed kraft core card, which I sanded and inked a little. Below you see some of the wrinkles I added when gluing the tissue. Love. <3
So good to see you playing with infusions Autumn and I just love Lynne Pereela stamps, so this is a gorgeous combo!!! Hugs Ruth xx

ReplyDeleteHow do I love this... let me start by county the embossed kraft. I cut my papers and tissues roughly by using a designated score-cutter hard. And that is FAUX stitching? Are you kidding? I had to look so close! 3000 miles is along distance when examining stitchin'! Girl, you go!
