I love the looks that the ageing process can give surfaces and in particular those that occur when metal is exposed to the weather. Having put together an effective rusted effect on a Vignette Accent for a recent project I put together a 'how to', this time using the technique on some Tim Holtz Metallic Kraft Stock embossed with the 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder 'Mechanics' (though it would work equally well with the 'Foundry' version). Here's the video;
Hopefully you now feel ready to start adding faux rust and verdigris to your metal (and non-metal!) surfaces. I've listed the products used below as a handy reference. Thanks for joining me here today. Have a great weekend and remember to get creative!

Wonderful result - love both looks. I never thought the alcohol ink would move with water and that blending solution would be needed - always learn something new from you. Thanks! xx
