I'm the lady with the alligator purse.
I wanted to add some texture to my purse but when I googled "faux alligator skin"all that comes up are clothes so I started playing around with my embossing powder and this is what I came up with. You can make faux alligator skin in 4 easy steps. Click on the link for the free tutorial. http://jackietopa.typepad.com/FauxAlligatorSkin.pdf
A tutorial to make the purse will be coming shortly.
This is a very clever idea! Thank you for showing us how to do it.
