Cuttlebug Clockworks & Faux Patina

About four years ago, Nora and I got together to try out the Faux Patina Technique Angie Leach demonstrated in this video tutorial on Splitcoaststampers: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/fauxpatina/. [splitcoaststampers.com]
I posted the backgrounds and the directions in April, 2014. https://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/13464/view/4937925/-1/72/0.html

I loved this background so much that I stopped after applying the inks and did not use any embossing powder on it. I used Distress Inks to make the faux patina piece. I sponged Mustard Seed all over as a base to warm up the other colors. Then I added Frayed Burlap, Gathered Twigs, and Stormy Sky. Lastly, I very lightly added Walnut Stain. Finally, I am using the background to make a birthday card for my son.

The only stamping on this card is the sentiment on the inside.
