Fun Faux layers with a twist

 Fun Faux layers with a twist

Today I'm doing a technique I call Faux layers today for Blank Page Muse blog.  

Here's a closer look at this technique.

basic instructions:

1.  Mask off section on card with post it notes, or any masking paper.

2.  Blend colors between the masked off section.  For the above card I did the colors in three sections.  When done blending colors the first time, go over it again to smooth out the colors.

3.  Before removing masks I place a stencil down.  Colored the stencil with a shade darker ink colors to add more dimension to the faux layer.

4.  Remove the stencil, and masks.  Stamp image, and saying with black ink on the card leaving some of the image over the blended colors.

5.  Add stamped layer to a black card then A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") folded card.

6.  Add some self sticking gems for that finishing touch.

It's fun to bring back an old technique, and just add a little twist to it.
