Rooted In Nature Stamp Set
Faux Batik
Today’s card features a very unique technique, Faux Batik. I love this technique so very much. And today I added so little extra to the technique! By adding heat embossing to the finished Batik. Making masculine cards are a challenge for me. I love flowers, stripes, colors, and other girl things. The Rooted In Nature (146479) stamp set makes masculine cards a breeze!!
Faux Batik is quite simple. There are a few steps but, each one is easy enough! The first step is to pick your stamp. The second thing you want to do is heat emboss the image onto a piece of tissue paper. Then, layer the tissue paper over shimmery white paper. Using a baby while add ink to the tissue paper. Pressing down making sure the tissue is thoroughly inked. Then gently lift the tissue to reveal the batik image.
- The first step was to do the Faux Batik. For the Batik I used Tranquil Tide and Blueberry Bushel. You can learn more about this process here.
- After finishing the Faux Batik process I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp and heat emboss the tree. This is what give the light shadow around the image. The embossing is copper.
- The next step was to add texture! Copper Thread, Blueberry Bushel paper, leaves, and Leaves Trinkets (146343)
- The final step was to add a strip of Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper (146331) and Copper Foil (142020)
