Hello Friends,
Today we are celebrating Melina's birthday. She is the leader of the Craft Gals group over at SCS. I hope she has a beautiful day and gets to enjoy it.
I have been taking a class over at CMC Online Classroom and in the class Suzanne Dean showed us how to color a copper pot and use patina to make it look a bit old. Very fun technique!
Recipe

I really love this card!! So that is real copper? No, it can't be it has a handle stamped on it. Or you stamped on the copper? What a great look. I have copper sheets that I've changed the color of, I think it was with the heat tool. It's been so long ago I can't remember.
ReplyDeleteI dearly LOVE this card!! Did you stamp on copper sheeting? I have some copper and I remember changing the color with.... heat I think, maybe my embossing gun? It's been years. You've inspired me to get it out and use it.
