Faux Tearing Tutorial

I recently learned how to do this from my demo and I loved it. Faux Tearing is so easy to do and it comes in handy when you do not have a lot of cardstock in a certain shade or hue.


Supplies:


Card base
Ink to match
brayer
paper/cardstock to rip



Step One:




Fold cardstock base in half and decide which way the card is going to go, vertical or horizontal.


Step Two:



Take your piece of paper or cardstock and rip it in half, making sure that there are some curves in the paper.


Step Three:




Place your ripped cardstock on top of your card base so that the part of the card showing is where the ink will go.


Step Four:



Ink up your brayer.


Step Five:



Hold down the white paper and run your brayer over the base card. You will have to reink it several times to get full coverage.


Step Six:




Finish your card. Here are two examples.
