Faux Patina Technique

 Hey Everybody,

Sabrina's challenge is faux patina. You can find it here.  I colored the image and cut it out. I added dimensionals to the back. I followed the directions for the faux patina then added my gold ribbon. I added the image on top of the ribbon and added the sentiment tag like it was a card in the flowers. I added the whole panel to a basic beige card base.

Here is the video for faux patina.

Here are some samples from my gallery so you can see different versions of this technique. Some have more of a metallic look while others look more green. I think the oldest card is from 2012.

Which is your favorite?  Is this a technique that you'd try?

Well what do you think? Do you have an embossing folder you'd like to try using for this technique?

Working on techniques has really helped my card making skills. It teaches me how to combine different things such as gold ink and regular ink or gold ink and an embossing folder.  Sometimes a technique will help you mix colors together or mix textures.

I really like this technique. I hope you give it a try.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Blessings,

Sue
