PTI SAF 3rd Anniversary - Leather

This card was made using Ashley Cannon Newell's design and technique for faux leather.
I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed making the faux leather.  I wasn't able to find liquid glycerin locally, so I ended up buying a small jar of generic glycerin suppositories and dissolving them in hot water.  (It worked out quite well once I figured out I didn't need to use half the jar of suppositories.)  I used PTI brown cardstock and it held up nicely to the water-glycerin mixture and crumpling.  I was impatient to continue on, so I used my heat tool to dry the faux leather.  The texture and overall feel is very much like leather.  Here are a couple of pictures to try and show the texture.
