Faux Patina
The technique at this fortnights Technique Twist is Faux Patina and there is a link on the blog to a great tutorial. I started my card with with the Cuttlebug folder Textile textures as I thought this had a lovely vintage feel. I used So Saffron on the folder when I embossed my card and then went over with Certainly Celery and Taken With Teal inks followed by Close to Cocoa on the raised elements. Versamark is then roughly rubbed over the piece and I've used Gold Sparkle embossing powder to finish. I didn't want a plain background but I didn't want it too busy so I've used the French Filigree background stamp with brown ink and matted it onto some teal card. The image is a Marianne Romantic Vintage stamp which I've stamped in brown and used the green and teal inks over it. A touch of lace and it's finished
