Today I would like to share a card for you that was designed when I was a member of the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen Design Team. It is a quick card to create, featuring the faux burning technique.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips:
- Faux burning is so easy! Simply tear your paper, ripping towards you. Then apply a heavy coating of Early Espresso ink using a Sponge Dauber. To review my video tutorial of this technique, Click Here.
- Stamp-a-ma-jig! The beautiful Elizabeth stamp was inked in Early Espresso and stamped onto Very Vanilla card stock. The Stamp-a-ma-jig was then used to perfectly align the “Thanks so much” sentiment from Three Little Words. If you are new to stamping and need to review how to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig, just Click Here.
- Distress it! Early Espresso ink and a Sponge Dauber are used to distress the edges of the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. An Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker and a Color Spritzer Tool add instant speckles.
- Glitz and Glam! Basic Pearls add an elegant accent to the header of the card and accentuate the centers of the Punch Potpourri flowers.

Just beautiful, Ann! Thanks for sharing the technique. I cant wait to try it out, although I’m sure it will not come out nearly as gorgeous as yours. Ok, I’m going to ask a question and I’m sure I”m not the only one wondering…how many packs of pearls have you used since they launched? Haha! I think SU! created them just for you, you really know how to showcase them perfectly, every time!
Oh my stars how did I miss this yesterday???? Well I know how… i’ve been side tracked lately. This is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL… I will diffinitely be making (trying) one using this technique. BEAUTIFUL!
To think before stamping I used to actually love to create this look with a match and paper and dance around the room waving my arm to get the flames out LOL!! Gorgeous card!
Ann, I learn something new every time I check your blog. I love the faux burning technique, I have wondered how it has been done and now I know. Thanks so much for sharing your vintage cards with us.
What a great idea, I thought it was burned until I read your post. AMAZING!!!!!!
Simply stunning, Ann. Loving that string of pearls.
Hugs, M
Beautiful!!! I have to agree with Patti, I thought it was really burnt. I like that! Hugs,
This is simply gorgeous! I agree with everyone’s comments about how rich it looks etc. That stamp is on my wish-list but I wondered if I would really use it. Ummmm, maybe now I would! Thanks for sharing such a great card Ann!
Hope all is going well with Muffy. Keep us informed…

Beautiful card Ann. The faux burning technique really adds to the vintage look of your card.
Hope things are going well with Muffy and she is behaving herself.
JUST lovely Ann! I really enjoy how you took the burning around your flowers (perhaps ink?) The look is really striking! The simplicity of the stamp with the intrigue of the technique and deep rich color…it’s stunning!
This is so beautiful, love all the sets you used and the great design. Thanks for the faux burning technique!
