I can't access the faux tearing. It says I don't have permission or privileges or something like that. I can access everything else though:(
Faux tearing is where you take a torn piece of paper and use it to mask off an area, and then sponge a border on the uncovered area. This will give you the look of having an additional layer of torn paper on your card without the bulk of having an actual layer. I do this a lot on envelopes when I stamp one to match a card.

I don't play with bleach very much
I have done a "faux bleaching" that is just poppin' pastels with light ink on dark paper.
A versamark pad or pen will work but white/vanilla pad and re-inker ink painted with paintbrush is better),
stamp image for accent and color (with pastels) as normal
scrub stamp, reink with vanilla/white, stamp cardbase densely to make a faux layer,
add caramel or other subtly coordinating EE pastel chalk to "pop it"
voila!
easy bleach free card that will also be more archivally safe because no bleach.

the stripe behind the accent is vanilla craft w. caramel chalk
accent is embossed and colored with marker.
card is 3x3.

Hello... thought I would post this here.... I don't have craft stores in my little town so I use the hardware store a lot for my crafting supplies... I discovered metal tape... so I was playing around with it and took my little sewing 'tracing wheel' and made me some 'faux hammered silver'.
Take the backing from the tape and stick it to some cardstock. Take your little tracing wheel and go back and forth in lots of different directions on the tape and then punch or cut your shapes... looks great... lots of shine!!
Great for Christmas card bling!!!
God bless

I have seen card samples in the gallery for faux tile. Does anyone know how to do this? You ladies are amazing! It's wonderful to see everyone willing to share their ideas.

Thanks to all the wonderful ladies who have created this wonderful resource. I was preparing to offer a Faux Techniques class over several months, and this will be very helpful.

Hi Debi
Faux Suede - Crumple and fold up the strip of cardstock. Smooth it out, then crumple again. Place it on a soft surface (book or mouse pad) and rub all over repeatedly with a bone folder. Find a corner that is coming loose and pull the 2 layers apart ever so slow. This will leave you with 2 thinner and fragile pieces of CS. You can put ink on it starting with a lighter shade and end with a darker one....or I have left it like it was, once in pink and it ended as a soft little blanket on a new baby card.
HTH,
Debi

I am looking for a technique for Faux Suede. Does anyone have a link or instructions for it? Thanks!
(I saw a post earlier, but the link took me to an Avery site for envelopes??)
Debi,
I made a Faux Suede card with the tutorial from Julie Koerber.It was sooooooo much fun and really easy. Here is the link to my card which has the link to Julie's Blog.
I don't know if anyone has added it, or if it's new or not, but... I came up with "faux bleach-with no bleach" because bleach is so bad for you (and for the selfish reason that it gives me migraines) ;0)
Here's a sample on scs with directions:
(It's SO easy you barely need em)
You can emboss any doodle/drawing/embroidery pattern/any printed image just by tracing it with a Sakura Quickie Glue pen and then powdering & heating like you would normally. (You can work in colour stages too, so you have a multi-coloured embossed image)
I did not come up with this technique, but I absolutely LOVE it.
Faux Build a Brad
use a page pebble,a tag, and 3D dimensionals. The best thing is you can use acrylic paint to make it any color you want. I bought the page pebbles and tags at Joanns.
Help! I tried to access some of the Faux websites listed and got a message saying I wasn't authorized to view them or my account had not been approved. Can someone please tell me what I need to do?
Thanks so much...ps
Faux Tearing
Thanks so much!
