MORE VINTAGE VOGUE -FAUX BRADS technique

Linda Kincaid was at it again. She demonstrated this card on Friday at Carol's house. We had a wonderful class and lots of great new SU! Linda used regal rose, pretty in pink, certainly celery, whisper white and chocolate chip. Also....I wanted to tell you that the centers of the flowers look like they are brads. Well....let me let you in on a secret...they are not brads! Linda showed us the most amazing technique. She made her own centers using crystal effects and white craft ink. You can do it with any craft ink but you want to use craft for the opaque look! Just mix these together and drop onto card stock wherever a brad is needed. This was a true "wow" moment for me when she showed us this. Sometimes you are short on brads, don't have the right color, or you just don't have the brads. Linda just solved this problem easily. The only drawback is waiting for it to dry. But you know what? it didn't take long at all! Linda used the same technique in this post here as well!
Here is the inside of the card using the very vintage wheel and also well scripted stamp set.
All of these sets can be found in the new SU! Occasions Mini catalog. And when you order these you get FREE SALE-A-BRATION items!

Love these Linda! and thanks for that great tip!
