Faux Linen Technique and Crackle Paint backgrounds

Rachael · February 6, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Hi Stampers!

Today we tried an old but new to me technique: Faux Linen. I think two things are worth mentioning: One, you need a medium grit sander or sandpaper, Two you NEED drying time to get a great effect.

I will try to get a video with the other way to do Faux Linen, which is with tissue paper, but again you do need drying time. I will see if I can get an image done and then show you step by step how to do it, but with swapping out two images!

The card we made today was a first try, so I am trying to be kind to myself and I will give it another shot with some more drying time and a hard grit sander.

I hope you will give this new oldie a shot too! I would love to see what you create 🙂

CARD RECIPE

Base Layer: Mossy Meadow 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″

Layer: Glossy Cardstock 4″ by 5 1/4″

Inside Panel: Whisper White 4″ by 5 1/4″ plus scraps for outside sentiment

 

I also am adding the White Heat Embossed Crackle paint background I was telling you about. It is SO SO cool and gives so much depth!

Until next time,

Stay Crafty!

XO Rach
