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.
