Compendium of Curiosities 2 Faux Patina

Week 2 CC2, love this stuff. I had fun with the patina, could do everything in sight, but my kitty wouldn't sit still for it. I used lettuce, Stonewash and Stream, along with pearl fixative because I don't have Snow cap. I suspect the base is more translucent sine I used pearl. I'll have to buy some Snow cap to try it.  I dined up several tags trying to stamp on this background, so I eventually decided to add additional embellishments instead, that always works. Join the fun at Linda's Studio L3 and Tim Holtz blog for tons of awesome stuff. Here's a detail of the metal, since it doesn't show up the over view photo.

  1. Wow, this is awesome, Shelann! Fab patina, and the colors are magnificent! A beautiful work of art, all the way around, and such a great approach to this week's challenge!

    My kitties wouldn't let me patina them, either. Silly little furballs! .^..^<
