Happy Thursday! It's been raining at my house most of today which made for a good excuse to stay inside. There were two challenges on my mind when I decided to get a little inky and create a card using the
Faux Patina technique. I combined the colour challenge at
Colour Me! to use Bermuda Bay, Marina Mist and Neutral with the No Patterned Paper challenge at
Tuesday Throwdown. If you want to check out a tutorial on the
Faux Patina technique,
click here. It's a fun technique and changing the colors and embossing folders used makes a big difference. For additional

Since I had the heat gun out, I decided to heat emboss the Congratulations sentiment from the Sassy Salutations stamp set by Stampin' Up! The champagne embossing powder is by Recollections. All other supplies are by Stampin' Up!. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Tip: If you get too much embossing powder on your panel, use a dry paint brush to remove the excess.
Gorgeous card with great technique, Andrea!
