I just LOVE the new kiwi kiss/very vanilla satin ribbon. I can't get enough of it. This is the first card I made with it - a faux silk card using Eastern Blossoms. We made this in club last month and the ladies seemed to like it. Here's an excellent tutorial by Beate Johns on how to stamp a faux silk panel.
Here's a piece I made for another card that a little more distressed. I crumpled the tissue paper some more and sponged more ink around the edges.
Recipe:
· Stamps: Eastern Blossoms, Bella Toile b/ground, All Holidays · C/stock: more mustard, tangerine tango, kiwi kiss, whisper white, white tissue paper · Ink: old olive & pumpkin markers, more mustard & kiwi kiss ink · Accessories: kiwi kiss/very vanilla double-sided satin ribbon, glue stick, dimensionals · Tools: small & large oval punches, mat pack (for paper piercing), sponge Thanks for stopping by.

Lovely card! Great sample for Faux Silk.
Have a great Holiday weekend.
Hugs and smiles

Very pretty - funny we used the same technique and stamp last month in my club...but with different colors and style. Love what you did with it!
