Hello everyone, I hope your Independence Day celebrations were as fun and meaningful as mine were. Our daughter, Cindy and her boyfriend, William, came up from Nashville andvisited for several days with us. We had a great time.

Here is my take on the great sketch over at Stamping 411

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.
