More Oxidized Metal Technique

Hello!  As promised I am back with 2 more cards made using leftover portions of a panel that I created with the Oxidized Metal technique.  Please check this post for all the details on the technique that I used. For the above thank you card I used a Black card base to which I stamped the leaf from Gina K Designs Skeleton Leaves and embossed that with Gold EP. I added the leftover strip at the bottom edge. This time you can see the leaf that I stamped before adding embossing and more embossing powder to the silver paper.

I used GKD Fired Brick CS as the base for this card.  I embossed 2 corners with a Sizzix EF that I  have never used. The flower design seemed to pick up the flower from the leftover strip of Oxidized Metal panel that I added.  I inked the edges of the strip with Pilot Gold Metallic marker before attaching. 

Challenges:

Oxidized Metal Technique.

Welcome!  I have been playing with something  new to me -  Oxidized Metal Technique which I learned about at CAS Mix Up Challenge.  First I tried the technique as shown on a video by Jay Soriano.  She made it look so easy but I failed at my attempt and made a mess.  Don't know what went wrong but my work is still not dry....maybe not enough embossing powder.  But from reading some other posts, it seems that I was not alone in being unsuccessful.

My second try at Oxidized Metal was a bit more successful using Melissa Kerman's video as a guide. I started with a silver metallic card stock and wiped it with StazOn Black Ink and then stamped randomly with a Gina K Design leaf stamp from Skeleton Leaves with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Gold EP.  (The leaves seemed to got lost as I added more to the card later but they are still there.)  I embossed the panel with Sizzix Thanks EF and swiped with Versamark Ink and then sprinkled on Copper EP and Silver EP and a bit more Gold EP and heat embossed.  Then I swiped again with the Black StazOn. For my card, I trimmed a portion of the completed Oxidized Metal panel.  I inked the edges with Pilot Silver Marker and attached to a Bronze CS.  I really liked the way the words pop on the panel. If you look really close you can see the stamped leaves in the background.  

Note: I created other cards with the unused part of the panel to be shared later.
