Faux Tile Swap:

I can now show you this swap I've been working on over the last few day's, as everyone I was swapping with should have theirs by now. Another great SU Demo in my area (Mel) arranged a 'Demo Only' swap revolving around the faux tiling technique. We also had to use at least one of the new in colour products. The above is what I came up with when I had a starting point of "I must use the Regal Rose Grosgrain and I must use Artfully Asian!"

I love this colour combo together, but next time, I'm going to try a more solid stamp set (which is what's normally recommended for this technique anyway) as trying to colour in without going into the faux grout was quite the challenge.

Supplies:

* Artfully Asian, It's Your Birthday and Itty Bitty Background stamp sets.

* Whisper White, Wild Wasabi, Regal Rose & Close to Cocoa Cardstock.

* VersaMark, Wild Wasabi, Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip and Close to Cocoa Stamp Pads. Regal Rose and Close to Cocoa SU Markers. Blender Pen.

* Bone Scorer, 3/8" Regal Rose Grosgrain Ribbon, Scallop Punch. Clear embossing powder, heat tool, sticky strip, SNAIL and the circle was cut out after tracing a small plastic container onto white cardstock as I don't yet have a circle punch.
