Group of Seven Cardmakers - Torn edge


Hi everyone the Group of Seven are using a little torn edge for this months technique/design element.


There are a few videos to give you ideas on how to use your torn edges and I hope you give this technique a try with us.

Videos: 
1)  Turn ripped card stock into beautiful cards by Simon Hurley (14:35)
2)  Torn Stenciling Technique by Gina K (5:11)
3)  Ripped Paper Technique by Natasha Foote (12:24)

Card #1 is a scrap from my stash with and embossed background. I tore the card stock and and rubbed some black and brown inks over the edge to simulate burned paper.
Stamp used - Nellie Snellen Robin on a Berry Branch
Stencil - Lavinia
Embossing folder - Carabelle Studio (no longer in business)


Card # 2 is torn masking tape adhered to the card and distress inks blending between. This technique can be combined with stencils or stamps. I always love to use silhouette images with this technique.
Stamps Used - Magenta (14.634.O)


Card # 3 torn paper to create hills. I kept the colours quite pale but if you look carefully you will see lots of little snow drifts between the house and the trees.
Stamps used - Card-io Pine Panorama
