Hi everyone! I’m filling in, kind of last minute here, for Julia’s WT challenge at SCS. Today we’re creating “faux feel.” We can use patterned paper that has a look of texture, create your own texture by embossing or by using one of the SCS resources such as Faux Suede, Linen. (There is also a new Brick Wall tutorial that looks interesting.) How can you create a faux texture?
I have a little gift bag using one of MFT’s latest releases, Gifty Girl. This set is also available in a kit here but can now be purchased on it’s own.
‘It’s in the Bag’ Bag
My girl is all paper-pieced, right along with her pretty shopping bags and background. At the bottom, I added a strip of crocheted trim with metal baby braddies over a strip of dark brown cardstock. Here’s a closer pic:

You Warm My Heart
Here I’ve used a small scrap of red woodgrain paper for the heart. (Another of MFT’s newer releases, Polar Love.)
If you’d like to play along with the challenge, you can find it HERE. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
