Hi, all! Time for another monthly challenge at House of Cards! This month, we've got a word cue for you--"Metallics"! Let it inspired you however you choose. :)
I decided to try my hand at Faux Patina. You can take a peek at my tutorial video on it HERE or at the House of Cards challenge blog. I made a faux patina-ed base for the rest of my fun metallic embellishments. Check it out...
I added some beautiful metallic flowers, made by my friend, Cohenna, as well as some leaves, a half doily, a punched trim, and metallic ribbons and elastic cording to the top of the card.
The bottom of the card was where I put the sentiment. This sweet one is from the Flower of the Month: Poppies stamp set from Inspired By Stamping! And take a closer look at the effect of the patina technique, too.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the way this turned out! I adore this fun technique, and it is SO easy, so make sure you check out my tutorial video! I also cannot wait to hear what you think of my creation, so please do leave a comment below!
Thanks so much for stopping by today and taking a peek at my creation. :) I hope you come and join our current challenge at House of Cards--I always LOVE seeing what you come up with! Don't forget to take a peek at the amazing DT work, too! You will be INSPIRED. Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)
