Faux Tearing

This is such an easy techinique & I think it looks great.

  • Tear a piece of scrap paper to use as a mask & lay the torn edge along the front of your card. This will be where your Faux Tear will be.
  • Stamp your card above the mask. You can use a background stamp, Stampin' around wheel or even just sponge the card.
  • Move your mask down afew mm & use a sponge dauber & your inkpad to sponge ink along the tear line.
Here are afew examples I made for a workshop on the weekend.
