Club Scrap January Artist Challenge: Faux Batik

Welcome to the Club Scrap January

Artist Team Challenge and

this month we share with you cards 

with a Faux Batik technique

I hope you have arrived here from
Pam's Blog
and see what wonderful projects she has
come up with.

There are various way of doing this technique
and I used one of the tutorials from
Splitcoaststampers here.

And here are my cards:

For this hop I made 4 cards in the same batik technique

with various stamps. 

This card is made with mostly this months papers

and stamps from the Color Me Happy kit,

but the pot and the sentiment are from

April 2009 Pure and Simple. I love using

distress inks for this way I could also sprinkle

some waterdrops and give the background

an even more batik look.

Here all papers and stamps from the January

Color Me Happy kit. The enamal dots are from

my stash.

The next two cards are made with the base

from the Office kit in combination with

the Color Me Happy kit. 

To be honest this was one of the first trials

of this technique and I almost discarded it. 

But then When I added the sentiment it looked

ready to use. The leather ribbon and beads

are from my Club Scrap stash. 

This card is made with one of my favorite

(vintage wooden) stamp, the tulips.

This was my contribution, but there is
more inspiration. Hop over to
Jennifer's Blog
and see her awesome artwork.
