May Group of Seven Cardmakers - Batik

 This month, the Group of Seven Cardmakers are playing with the technique of Faux Batik.  

There are lots of YouTube videos on the technique all using slightly different methods! Several are linked over at the Group of Seven blog.

Here are some photos of the steps.

                       

 

                              

                                                   

I have to say, I found it difficult to choose colors and stamps that ended up with something I liked - it all ends up a bit dark for me.  

The rest of the Group of 7 Cardmakers had greater success than me with this technique!

Please give Faux Batik a try and link up your creations over at The Group of Seven Cardmakers blog.  I'd love to see what colors and stamps you used!
