For our Little Extra challenge atthis week, we'd like you to "Go Faux it" Yes, all we want you to do this week is to use something fake on your cards. For instance you could make fake ribbon, fake brads or fake chipboard - we think you talented folk can come up with lots more "let's pretend" ideas so we can't wait to see your ideas.
Here's my card, I've gone for a 'Faux Fabric' look with some pleated and scrunched Daisy D Paper, and the 'Faux Printed Paper' made myself with some Stampin Up Ink that was brushed onto wet cardstock, and then sprinkled some salt on top to make an interesting pattern (this paper was used on the bottom handcut scallope, and threaded through the buckle)
other bits I've used are K&Company chipboard buckle, K&Company Sticker, and my own handcut flower from a lovely scrap of PP, and ofcourse my sewing machine :O)
So have you Dared to DARE yet?..... Come on I dare you!!!!
