Hi all and happy Saturday to you!
This week at Our Creative Corner, Paula is hosting again and this time she's challenging us with denim!
I chose to try creating a faux denim stamping technique. And for the most part, I think it works. I really liked it when it was wet but when it dried, it was a little more filled in than I wanted. But I think all in all, with the way I used it, you get the picture.
After I had created my denim treatment and let it dry for a day, I cut a pocket from one of my pieces.
I had a flourish stamp that I used as the pocket detail. Its been embossed with white embossing powder. I also happened to have a stitch stamp that worked wonderfully for the pocket stitching. I just stamped it in white over the "denim" stamping.
A few different types of twine, a few buttons and a little tag, and I have a gift and a card all combined in one.
So use those old jeans you've been meaning to throw out, maybe the kids have a pair that's seen better days or try your own faux technique and play along with us this week. Just make sure to include three twines or ribbons and three buttons or brads to make sure you meet the challenge requirements.
