HAWAII INK ANNUAL GROUP MEETING PROJECTS

Sitting with my friends learning how to assemble the altered notebook.

My favorite project was this card.  The technique is faux silk and it was unexpectedly easy.  My group had this project first and looking at the card that was placed on the table as an example,  I thought it would be difficult and was pleasantly surprised.  My friend Doris taught this project.  The "silk" is actually tissue paper that you stamp your images onto and then crinkle up.  Using your glue stick you completely coat whatever sized whisper white card stock you are using and then open the tissue paper (not trying to smooth it out) and then pat it down onto the card stock.  While patting the tissue down it was like watching magic, the silk look just happened.  This technique is super cool!
