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

Beautiful card., Lydia!
I wondered what this kit was about and love what you did with it. Very interesting and the techniques were really lovely. Thank you.
