Welcome to the TOTALLY TECHNIQUES September blog hop! Today we are featuring a technique called FAUX TORN EDGE. This is an oldie but goodie! Here's what I came up with:
I chose to use the SPOOKY SWEETS bundle along with SHELTERING TREE for my spooky cards! I have a video tutorial that will show you some great tips here:
If the video above does not play – click HERE to watch it on my blog.
My first card uses the JOYOUS NOEL GLIMMER PAPER – this comes in an assortment pack of orange, green and red. I thought it was perfect for the moon on my Halloween card.
That sky really looks spooky doesn't it? And a couple FACETED DOTS in black were perfect for this card!
Dimesions:
- Gorgeous Grape 11" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2"
- Basic Black 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
- Whisper White 3 3/4" x 5" & 4" x 5 1/4"
Here's the inside – still spooky right?
And then I made this one! A 1 3/4" Circle Punch was used for the mask on the moon. And of course the cute little tree from SHELTERING TREE has a spooky element to it when used on this card!
Dimensions:
- Gorgeous Grape 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
- Basic Black 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
- Whisper White 3 3/4" x 5" & 4" x 5 1/4"
- Joyous Glimmer Paper scrap
Thanks so much for joining me for these projects. I hope you will give this technique a try!
