Good day crafty friends! This weeks sketch at
Tuesday Morning Sketches is wide open for your creative interpretation. I looked through lots of patterned paper but I decided to use the
Faux Patina technique. It combines embossing, ink blending and heat embossing. Have you ever tried it? I looked back to see the last time I did this technique and it was almost two years ago. Here is some other
Faux Patina Cards I've created over the years. We would love for you to join the challenge using this weeks sketch designed by Patti. If you've never tried the Faux Patina technique I encourage you to give it a try. Here is a link to a short
video tutorial. For the the design team inspiration and all the challenge details click

This
Faux Patina Card is linked to the
Allsorts embossing challenge. After I made my card I was doing some cleaning and found a package of Toner Card Fronts sold by Unity called Butterfly Fly Away. So, I decided to finally get my new laminating machine out of the box and give foiling a try. The foil is called Rainbow Shattered Glass by iCraft and I used Distress Inks to color the panel before foiling. I'm linking my Butterfly Foiled Card to the
Daring Cardmakers Wing It! challenge. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
