Saturday Showcase - Faux Metal Effects

Hi everyone and welcome to another Saturday Showcase, the Design Team's chance to share tutorials and products available from The Funkie Junkie Boutique with you and kick start your creative weekend.


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!
