It's my turn to host the Saturday StepXStep at Frilly & Funkie, and I decided to do another video tutorial showing my very favorite technique that I learned at Ranger U from Tim...Perfect Pearls Faux Leather. This time I turned off the phone!!!
The Completed Tags:
Leather, Prima Flowers and some Idea-ology pieces were added to the kraft tag.
Here is the original tag left blank.
Metal accents, Prima Flowers, a Grunge rose, and some Idea-ology pieces were added to the black tag. I am submitting this tag to The Blogger's Challenge for "Christmas In July", and to Compendium of Curiosities II Challenge of "Enameled Metals" based on Tim's book by the same name.
Supplies: From My Stash: Robert Stanley Metal Ribbon, pewter manger charm, star charms, leather strap
These tags are just stunning. Love this technique. Your vid is very clear...super explanation. You always combine the most interesting embellies on your tags to achieve gorgeous results. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for the video! Dyan Reaveley showed us a really quick demo of this technique when she was here in TX. I bought the Perfect Refresher and then couldn't remember anything beyond spraying it on cardstock or a tag. She used a piece of Tim's Kraft Resist paper...made it feel like suede.
Thank you so much for showing the technique from start to finish!!!
Hi Anita, Thanks so much for the great tutorial - really clear, and easy to follow. And the tags are wonderful! It's a great technique, but it's how you choose to embellish that really makes them - the black/pewter/pearl one has become a thing of beauty with those adornments! Alison x
your tags are beautiful and you did a wonderful job with the tutorial. However...Julia Andrus who was affiliated with Ranger published this in her book Paper Transformed, in 2007. Not Tim's idea.
I was not sure who did discovered this, and am so glad you informed me. I looked up some of her stuff and found her to be brilliant. Thank you for the information!
Utterly fabulous, Anita. You tut is top quality and so informative and your tags are so gorgeous. I especially love that metal "25" tag that you created. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing creative talent with us!
Anita - Love your tutorial - I'm pretty sure that I have some of that Perfect Ink Refresher in my craft room somewhere. I'm definitely going to try this technique. Thanks so much for sharing!
Awesome tutorial! Love your tags! The look amazing! I have that ink refresher and never used it before. I saw something like this technique in an online class. Never came around to do it, I'm putting it on my to do list (again)! Thanks!
Absolutely Stunning is an understatement!!!!! These are so beautiful...and such a simple and quick technique!!!! I WILL be getting some of the Ink Refresher!!!! Your tags are out of this world GORGEOUS!!!!
great video!! Faux Leather is my favorite technique of Tim's, like you I think a handbag that felt that way would we be wonderful :-) Your Tags are beyond gorgeous Girl!!
Anita, first...WOW! your tags and tutorial are just FANTASTIC! and, I am motivated to try it! YOu are super talented and amazingly creative! hugs, sharon w.
Anita, I loved your tutorial so much that I had a go at that technique straight away! It is wonderful and I was amazed at how it changed the texture of the tags. I have blogged one of them already! your video was so clear and easy to follow, more please! Your tags are gorgeous, the last one is stunning, brilliant use of metal there my friend xx
Fabulous tutorial Anita... I have a bunch of perfect pearls.. but was not to sure what to do with them.. Now I do! Thank You for taking the time to share.. love it!! Hugs May x x x
Gorgeous tags and terrific tutorial Anita, I can't wait to try it out!! My dh loves the tag cards I make for him that are softened with distress inks and water, so I know he'll love these! Thanks so much for sharing!
Your tags are just fantastic, and thanks for the brilliant tutorial I ordered the Ink refresher immediately since I just have to try this out. Thank you for leaving your lovely comments on my post, I'm sorry if I didn't quite follow the rules, I thought that ribbon would do after I looked at some of the DT cards, never mind there is always the next challenge I look forward to it already. hugs Kimx
Hi Monica and thank you!!! I assume...lol...that yes, this will work on any medium to lightweight plain cardstock that is not coated with anything, but don't hold me to that. I have not tested it on any other types but these. That would be a great thing for you to do once you get some, which I hope is soon. I don't want your days to be ruined! LOL!!! Happy crafting!
I finally got around to watching this... have been saving it as new till I had a little time. Love it! Great tip on tapping the container too... I had forgotten about that and it sure is a good one. Love how you've finished off these beauties.
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

DeleteDoes this only work on these specific tags or does it work on cardstock. Noe to once again try to find refresher.
