Technique Tuesday 1/26/2010


A great Technique Turtorial from this week's Forum Fairy Michelle!

Since we’re in the middle of winter and I live in Alaska, I’ve been doing a few winter layouts (you should see one in a few days...hint, hint). I’ve had a blast with the BoBunny Snowy Serenade papers and embellies. A fun technique I learned a few years ago called Faux Suede can also double as textured snow. It really only takes cardstock and your fingers (although it’s easier with a tool like the score and fold!!!). Oh, and nice thick cardstock like Bazzill is AWESOME for this technique.
100_6479100_6485_2 Curl a piece of cardstock between your thumb and your bone folder as if you were culing ribbon. Curl it in all directions until you see the corners start to separate. Stick your thumb nails between the two layers and slowly pull them apart. If you meet some resistance, curl your cardstock again. The more you work your cardstock, the easier it will separate
