  3. Nice card. Cked out the Faux Leather Technique link you provided and it indicates to use masking tape with embossing powder & heat gun. I do not see that you used those things so would like to know how you achieved the Faux Leather look with your card?

  7. OOPS - I put the wrong link for the Faux Leather - the correct link is by Lois at MFP and it is an easy way to do Faux Leather! So Sorry. Enjoy your day.
