Weathered Patterned Pines

In the next few days I will be posting cards that were done at my last class. These cards were all inspired by techniques that were shown to us at the Wichita 1/2 day regional.

This card shows how to do a weathered technique using the Finial Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and Designer Series Paper. This technique will only work using the DSP because it has a white core, our regular cardstock is color straight through and for this technique you need to have paper that has the white core. After embossing the DSP paper with the Big Shot, take our sanding blocks and lightly sand the raised embossed image. This will take off the top layer and this inturn gives it the weathered look. Upon sanding it also gives the paper a soft feeling just like the new Christmas Cocoa flocked paper.
