Basically it involves lots of sponging and a little gold embossing. I used Crumb Cake as my base, then added some Not Quite Navy, Always Artichoke and Early Espresso. The last step is to lightly ink with Versamark™ and emboss with gold embossing powder. You must have a light touch or the gold will cover up the sponged on color. I am hoping to experiment with some different color combinations, maybe something with Cherry Cobbler!

Beautiful faux patina Rhonda!
This technique looks interesting and your card looks fabulous.
Oh my! This is lovely. I have heard of this faux patina but just figured it would be too hard so, I never even bothered to look at the tutorial. Sad, I know. LOL Gorgeous work.
