It’s Friday already? This week flew by…I had a blast with some great gals last night playing around with the Perfect Blend stamp set. As I was getting things together for class earlier in the afternoon with my back out of sorts, I almost forgot I had a card to do for the Friday Mashup #170! I got to work and finished in record time, and was even happy with my card:)
- Create a project using the “Sketch.”
- Create a project using the “Delft Tile Technique.” Tutorial here
- or Mash it Up! and create a project using the “Sketch & Delft Tile Technique.”
I watched the video but went a little out of the box and did a Faux Tile card. I promise I will do a Delft Tile in the future. The Faux Tile essentially is the same thing but with a clear embossed layer over it making it look like ceramic tile. I simply scored my paper, stamped my images, covered it in Versamark, and heat embossed it with Clear embossing powder after I sponged it a bit on the edges and middle. I also clear embossed the acorn and the sentiment. I made a similar card with my class last year so I was familiar with the Faux Tile technique which made my card come together quickly.
Check out the second photo to see the ceramic look.

P.S. I can’t wait to try the Delft Tile technique but was short on time so I did the Faux Tile instead. At least it was close, huh? Check out the fabulous examples the Design Team have on display for you at The Friday Mashup # 170!
Beautiful card, Cindy! I love the look the faux tile gives to this card and the rounded edges offer such a soft effect. Very nice!
Thank you, Stacey. It is such a fun technique, and you know how neat it is to see embossing powder do its magic!
Love this card and technique – will have to try! Hope your back is getting better Cindy! PS Loved your picture on Brian King’s blog 🙂
Thank you, Jodi. It is a fun technique. I can’t wait to see what you come up with on this technique- I can only imagine what your creative mind will do!
Oh, Cindy! I LOVE your card! It is so beautiful! I am a huge lover of Fall and leaves! This is so creative and colorful! I hope you are feeling better! I am sorry your back was giving you fits. It was so fun to spend time with you at Convention! You are the BEST!!!!! XOXOXO
Thanks, Claire! I love Fall especially up here in PA. The summer seems to be flying by though…fall can wait just a little bit though. I can’t wait ’til Leadership in Orlando to see you again! Enjoy your grandbabies:)
Hi! Beautiful card. Love the colors.
Thanks so much, xiomara! I liked the brighter fall colors, too. They turned out brighter than I thought they would.
Wow beautiful technique with beautiful results!
This is beautiful Cindy! The tile look is amazing, I’ve never seen a card done like this before. You and Heidi really have me anxiously awaiting fall with your beautiful cards!
I hope your back is doing better. I have arthritis in my back and hips and when they go out, oy vey, not fun!
