Country Home Faux Patina

Having a bit of a play with the Faux Patina technique and this is what I came up with:

I've used the Tin Tile Embossing Folder to help crate the background. I think it lends itself very well for this technique. And the 'Country Home' stampset was a perfect match for the  card as well.

To make the background, I inked up the debossed side (the side without the printing) with crumb cake ink. You can use the other side if you prefer - which a lot of people do, but I preferred the debossed side. I then lay a piece of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock measuring 14.6cm x 10.3cm onto the un-inked side, closed the embossing folder and ran it through my bigshot to transfer the ink to the cardstock. After that I used sponge daubers to randomly apply ink over the card. The colours I used were Bermuda Bay and Old Olive and Early Espresso. You can just keep layering up the colours until you are happy with how it looks. After that, I sponged on some Celestial Copper pigment ink randomly over the piece (this ink will be available in the new Occasions catalogue coming out in September.

I've created a Youtube tutorial on how I made the background. It's my very first video and I was extremely nervous! Both my hands and my voice were shaking so please be kind!!!
