Another Faux Patina for Technique Twist

This is my second entry into the Faux Patina challenge at The Technique Twist but I'm not sure if the result is true Faux Patina but that's how it started until I played around. Instead of inking my Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder on the top side to start with, I've used Versamark on the "bottom" side so that the de-bossed snowflakes were coated and then used clear powder. This means that when I've added my layers of ink (Bashful Blue, Baja Breeze, Ballet Blue and Not Quite Navy), the snowflakes have remained mostly white. I've then added some random Versamark and embossed with Stardust Embossing powder and my patina panel was created

To make the card I've used a snowflake backing paper from the new Kraft Notes Forever Friends Christmas stack on the base card. The image is a die cut by My Paper Stash. I just love that it's not the typical robin - as much as I love robin's. The strip is from the same die cut sheet and the snowflakes are from a Cuttlebug die. The layout is based on this one at Sketch N Stash but my panel is a lot bigger as I didn't want to cut into it. As I've used some Kraft Notes backing paper, I'm also entering it into the DoCrafts Christmas Card challenge
