TODAY IT'S A TECHNIQUE CALLED - Faux Paper Lantern DIRECTIONS...
1.Stamp your image onto neutral CS and color in if desired. I used Very Vanilla, and stamped my image in Black StazOn Ink so that way I could use my watercolor pencils.
2. Using a black pen you can make stitch lines around the edges if you'd like, once your image is dry.
3.Run your image/CS through the crimper.
4.Rub a dark ink like Early Espresso over the crimped edges lightly. I took the ink pad directly to the CS using Early Espresso.
5.Finish off your card and embellish. I like the look of a mini blind with this technique...so I seperated my rope cording (on the clearance rack) and used thinner pieces of it to make it look like a window blind.
