WF15 Faux Patina Challenge

Here are two BG of for the Faux Patina Challenge. My first one was the copper EP one and that one I had trouble with bc the EP took forever to melt. When you did melt it, the EP smelled bad, but if I didn't heat it as long, then the EP stayed a dark, dull color--not metallic at all.

So I tried the color combination again with same EF and this time used silver EP and the silver performed so much better. I think with both samples, the Versamark went everywhere--lol! I think I want to try again and use the pad maybe or a different EF might help....with these two I used a brayer. I may had needed to use a static clean thingy before to help with the recessed areas not have as much EP.

TFL!

I think these backgrounds are beautiful. I like the jeweltones you picked for your ink colors because they go so well with metallics. I really like the copper one. Smile

I like them but there really is a big difference in the color of EP in the overall look between the two. The copper really looks darker overall. Thank you for sharing.

Bummer about the stinky EP. Both background look great. And it is amazing how big a difference the color of the EP makes.

These are fantastic! I love the background colors and the different looks you achieved with the different powders. These will make great cards!

Thanks Melissa for sharing your backgrounds...it is amayzing how different each one is. My favorite is your dot pattern on the next one which reminds me of fancy material.
