Video: New Patina Technique Kit

Hi friends! I'm here today with a card and video using the gorgeous new Patina Technique Kit . Patina effects have been my jam since the late 1900s - I just love the look so very much. There are a variety of ways to get this look while papercrafting, but this kit has everything you need in one spot!
I have about worn my Floral Tile Stencil out - I love it so much - so I chose that as the starting point for this card. I sprayed it with Pixie Spray and put it down on to a kraft card panel sized for a mini-slimline card. I applied the beautiful pigment ink in the kit directly through the stencil - you could also use a brush - but I wanted it sort of distressed looking and not as perfect looking as it would be if I had ink blended it.
Leaving the stencil in place, I selectively sprinkled the bronze embossing powder in the kit around the design. I removed the stencil and heated it. In the video, you'll see my tip for precisely applying embossing powder. Then I used the eclipse technique to finish the card using the Christmas Holidays Stamp & Cut XL .

Here's a closeup of the beautiful bright shine and pretty blue ink.
Enjoy my video of this simple process! Watch below or HERE on YouTube.

Thanks for stopping by today!
