Remember that nursery rhyme a pocket full of posies. A-tishoo, A-tishoo, we all fall down? So many of my friends are “falling down” with colds and flu at the moment so I decided to make this get well card, featuring a pocket of posies.

The pocket is made with a technique called faux demin. You start with a piece of white card and swipe your blue ink pads across it to add streaks of colour. I used Balmy Blue and Pacific Point. Swipe in both directions, up snd down and across. Once the ink was dry I swiped over the card again using craft white ink. I also drew in a few lines with my blue Blends to try and create the look of threads in fabric.

It is a time consuming technique but fun to do if you are wanting to try something different.
