FB Live Recap: Faux Silk Technique

 

I brought out the Art Gallery stamp set to demonstrate the Faux Silk technique this week on my Facebook Live video. It’s a technique that’s been around for a while but is worth revisiting every once in a while. I think the technique works best with stamped images that are more solid rather than outline-type images, and the Art Gallery stamps are perfect for this!

If you weren’t able to join me last Tuesday, you can watch the replay of the video here.

Join me each Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET for a video demonstration of a project or two. Share my videos to your timeline so that your “crafty” friends can watch too!
