I've had a fab play today, got sticky with masking tape & covered in distress inks & boy did I enjoy it!
When I saw this technique over on Technique Tuesday's blog I decided to have a play, you will find all rules & details of the faux leather technique HERE!
Well, could I find my masking tape? Nope, so I had to pinch Nige's out of his tool box lol.....hope he doesn't realise because I used nearly all of it playing. Expect a few more cards using this technique!
I have used a stamp that I got when I met up with Kim at the Doncaster craft show, I thought he needed inking up.....what a cutie & I had so much fun colouring him in with my distress markers.
The sentiment says 'dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole'
I just thought it was perfect!
