FAUX PATINA

I found a technique called 

"FAUX PATINA" on SplitCoastStampers.com

Here is the link.

I am really happy with the way these cards turned out.

Both cards next to each other....so different.

Card #1 Always Artichoke

Up close, see the results???  Cool huh?

Card #2 Bashful Blue/Crumb Cake

 I was actually going for the blue/brown effect so I left out the green this time and love, love the way it turned out.

Up close of the blue/brown card.  

Of course nothing does it justice as in real life, but believe me, it's gorgeous!!
