Today I tried another new to me technique called
Faux Patina. I was prompted by the challenge at
The Technique Twist to give it a try. It was a lot of fun to mix and play around with inks. I embossed Whisper White cardstock with a Crumb Cake inked Modern Mosaic embossing folder and then applied Island Indigo, Old Olive, and Early Espresso inks. The final step was adding the gold embossing powder. For detailed directions, here is a link to a
tutorial. The base of my card is Natural cardstock stamped with the En Francais stamp in Early Espresso. I inked the edges of all papers with Crumb Cake for an antiqued look. The final touches were the addition of the Soft Suede ribbon and the Just for You label from the Label Love stamp set. I've always struggled when it comes to tying ribbon. I found a really short
demonstration that helped me. Maybe now I won't be scared to use ribbon. All supplies used on this
Faux Patina Card are by
Stampin' Up!. Thanks for stopping by!

Finding a ribbon tutorial is a fabulous thing! It took me forever to use my Bow Easy for the same reason, and now I use it all the time. Love the effect of the faux patina - I'm off to check it out, because it looks like the perfect messy fun for today :)
