New Tricks/Techniques

New tricks or techniques was the challenge requested by Opus Gluei and Just for Fun this week. I decided to go for a technique I have just learned, called Faux Linen, made with tissue paper. I will be adding this technique in my Tips and Techniques Blog later this evening, sorry I'm rushing out to child mind for the evening but am close to the closing wire for Opus Gluei. Will tell more later.
Apologies if you have been waiting. I have now added the inforamtion on the Faux Linen onto my
Tips and Tutorials blog, Any questions, please pop into comments, I will contact you.
The poppy stamp I used above is my latest win on e-bay, it is a La Blanche stamp which I never managed to get from QVC, always selling out, maybe it's the person on E-bay buying them all. LOL

    Thanks very much for participating with us at Opus Gluei! (p.s. - anytime it looks like you are going to miss the Linky thing, just add it to whatever the current one is, we're very low key on the rules - LOL)
