"Playing around with acryclic paints, and I came up with this faux copper effect. It turns out so realistic, people will have trouble believing that it's just paint and cardstock!"

Step 1

Emboss two pieces of cardstock using the new 3D M-Bossabilities Delightful Daisies folder. Fussy cut two daisies, one butterfly and the banner from one piece.

Step 2

Paint all of the pieces with the blue acrylic paint, covering all of the kraft cardstock.

Step 3

Once dry, paint a very light coat of copper paint. This can be left streaky to show some of the blue paint underneath. While it's still wet, wipe over it with a damp paper towel. Allow to dry.

Step 4

Spray lightly with the Walnut ink, and wipe all over the embossed pieces with a dry paper towel. Flick some water droplets onto the piece and watch the water clear spots in the walnut ink layer. (Pic 3 below): See the difference the Walnut Ink has made to the paint finish. It's like a patina.

Step 5

Stamp the sentiment onto the banner. Assemble the card, adding some black German glass glitter to the flower centres.
