Queen Bee Faux Silk Technique

Queen Bee is a lovely stamp set which lends itself beautifully to the collage stamping technique. It is still available in the online shop, although the dies are finished. You could substitute any small flower for these though.

The Faux Silk technique softens the stamped images and adds some lovely texture. 

Faux Silk Technique

1. After stamping your art piece, you cover it quite generously with a normal glue stick.
2. Take a piece of white tissue paper, larger than the image you need to cover and screw it into a tiny ball.
3. Smooth it out, but not too much as you require wrinkles to give it character.
4.  Press down firmly to the front of work, then either trim excess tissue or fold it neatly behind.
5. Mount it onto a piece of card 0.5cm larger and add to your card.
6. Decorate as you wish.

This card was an option for classes in my home studio - South Morang VIC - during May.
