Two More Metal Cards

 

The other day I posted a card where I used a making metal technique called Faux Patina from over at Splitcoaststampers. I wanted to show you the other two cards I made with the same technique. They turned out great and they are actually pretty shiny because I sprayed the sentiment panel with Smooch Spritz but on the main panel I used gold or copper embossing powder and that is shiny as well. This looks much better in real life, the camera can't pick up the patina it sort of washes it out so give it a try yourself and let me know what you think.   

These make super masculine cards which is something I am always on the lookout for. Thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.

Challenge 253 Metal Patina

 Another week another challenge. I saw this technique on SCS and thought I would give it a try. I love how it turned out but it looks so much better in real life. The Happy Birthday panel is sprayed with smooch spray and shines real nice. I used brushed copper card stock to punch out a copper ribbon with the dotted ribbon border punch. That has been retired for years but I still have some and I thought it was perfect for this card. I needed three masculine cards for the month of June birthdays and this is just the ticket. I have  pictures of the other two which I will post very soon.

There is a tutorial at SCS for making the panel that looks like metal under Patina. I hope you give it a try too. It's pretty easy and quick and the results are dramatic.
