Stamping Jo TV: Faux Metal
My video’s have a name!!! "STAMPING JO TV"…what do you think?
Today’s video features the "faux metal technique"…for some reason I had a hard time making this video…it took me 3 times to do it. I tried to get my Hubby to help me and the first time, we couldn’t stop laughing, the second time he seemed to be getting more of me in the shot and less of the project AND the 3rd time I fired him (hee, hee) and did it myself! I hope you like it!
I love to hear your comments, let me know what you think!
