Our group gets together on teams now once a month and this month we did a faux tear technique. We tore some strips of scrap paper, place it over our card and then inked in the space between them and then stamped some images. Out of the same set we were to stamp an image we could cut out and pop on top. I added some die cut leaves with it. We also cut a strip to add our sentiment on, scored a bit of it to wrap around the card, even laying acrylic blocks on it all night it doesn't lay flat so I laid it down to get a picture.
- BoBunny - Flower Garden stamp set. colored with markers and Diamond stickles for the center
- Faux torn background inked with Faded Jeans and Tumbled Glass Distress inks
- Martha Stewart - Butterfly punch
- Tim Holtz - Funky Florals #3 (leaves die)
- Crafter's Square - Birthday Sentiment stamp
I was thinking about just adding a little removeable tape to the sentiment flap to keep it down, one of the girls mentioned magnets but I will be mailing this and not sure about the weight. If you have any ideas, let me know, I don't have to get this out in the mail until a couple weeks.
Thanks for stopping by,
Connie

Beautiful.
What a great technique. Your card is darling!
So pretty.
This turned out so pretty! I love the torn look and often tear papers as backdrop when I scrapbook. Blessings on your weekend! xo
Oh, ha! I thought it was a real tear until I read. Nice effect! I don't know if a magnet would add too much weight, but it would add bulk. Maybe removable tape or washi? Not sure. Good luck!
That faux tear card is so pretty. I think the blue inks look really nice together. For keeping the sentiment flap down, maybe a tiny dab of glue dot or washi tape could work without adding much weight for mailing.
That faux tear technique is such a clever way to add depth and texture—your inking between the torn strips creates a beautiful illusion, and the layered stamping adds so much charm. The popped-up flower and die-cut leaves give it a lovely dimensional touch, and the butterfly is the perfect accent. I really like the idea of scoring the sentiment strip to wrap around the card—it adds a fun interactive element. For keeping it down, maybe a tiny Velcro dot could work too? It’s lightweight and easy to open.
A great technique and you can use it in so many ways. Love the inking and your pretty floral and foliage! Such a winner. And topped with that beautiful butterfly makes this sensational!
such a pretty technique and a lovely card, it's a beautiful shade of blue!!!
A lovely card.
I do wonder if you could perhaps use a little removable tape?
All the best Jan
It's beautiful, Connie. Just weigh it down until it needs mailing. It will flatten by then xoxo
