Just Us Girl's challenge #219 Faux Silk

A quick post here, as it is a busy week, but yesterday, I had some time to experiment and that is certainly what I did. I have never done the faux silk technique before and watching the video helped. But I had an image that was already stamped and I wanted to use it, so.... I did my own technique. I colored the Dahlia image from Flourishes and the crumbled up some tissue and put it on top. I like the effect that I got and continued with some Sand CS cut with a spellbinder die and that was layered onto Eggplant CS from GKD. I have a large spool of neutral crochet thread and I can color it with my Copics, and that is what I used for the accent on the side. Then the pearls finished it off.
See what you think.
