Faux Leather Technique by Elizabeth

Elizabeth Allan is here today to share her faux leather technique. The results are amazing!

Instructions: Create a card base from Sticks & Stones 02-002 and spray with Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz. When dry, lightly distress with Vintage Sepia Ink.

Stamp Retro Pattern on a smaller piece of Sticks & Stones 02-003 with Vintage Sepia Ink. Add a band created from white cardstock stamped with Winter Sky in black ink and pounced with Spanish Moss Ink. Insert and secure the brads then attach the piece to the card base.

Cut a piece of tan craft foam slightly larger than a heavy-weight piece of cardstock. Pre-ink Forest Friends with Jet Black StazOn. Heat tan foam with a heat tool until soft and pliable. Immediately press the inked stamp into the heated foam and apply pressure for several seconds.

Add Gingerbread VersaMagic and Vintage Sepia Inks around the stamped image with sponge daubers.

Wrap the foam around the heavy-weight cardstock and secure the sides with a hot glue gun. Attach to the prepared card with Tombow Power Adhesive Tabs.

Stamp the sentiment on white cardstock and distress with inks. Accent the banner with a black Glaze Pen.
