Welcome
I am so glad you have visited me again
I first saw this Faux Texture Metal Paper technique over at Jennifer McGuire's blog.
I masked the card stock, and sponged the centre panel using distress inks -Spiced Marmalade, Scattered Straw and Mustard Seed.
I then brushed on gold Perfect Pearls, wiped the surplus off, then embossed the card stock with a Couture Creations folder.
The final detail was the sentiment, cut from a light bronze coloured sparkle paper.
Unfortunately the paper twisted in the folder and creased, but with a quick trim to even up the bottom of the card, and a strategic placement of the word and the card was good to go.
I love the glimmer and gleam this technique gives.

Maxine, the end result is so unique. The shine shows and it seems like the card wants to sing. Thank you so much for taking time to post your very creative art with us this week at Word Art Wednesday, in our 195th challenge.

This is such a pretty card Maxine and it really does look like metal! That's a nice embossing folder too.
This is so pretty. Love the sponged colours and gold perfect pearls to make your faux metal center panel. So pretty and perfectly paired with the glittery die-cut sentiment. Thanks for playing along at Happy Little Stampers.
turned out gorgeous Maxine. I've tried this technique myself a couple of times. You chose lovely colours with the gold Perfect Pearls
This is gorgeous .... love the coloured panel in the centre and the touch of gold really adds to the design. Thanks for playing along at Happy Little Stampers ........ Linda xx
What a gorgeous card, I'm itching to try this technique. So glad you joined us at House of Cards. Donna T
Lovely card. I love the coloured panel in the centre. I'll have to try this technique. xx
Great take on this technique. Love the DI colors & with the gold PP...just so pretty. Liked the choice of EF as well. Isn't this an easy & fun technique to do? TFS & Hugs. (trying to do a little catchup after my trip. May take me a while).
I love to see all of the fun ideas you try on your cards! This is such a neat look- loving the warm color and the sparkle! Also, the embossing folder- looks perfect at an angle- so pretty!
Thank you for your visit and your lovely encouragement, Maxine! That's a great card. The embossing pattern is great! I'm glad you were able to save it after the paper got creased.
I am just waiting for some new embossing folders to arrive, and then I am going to try this technique. I read about it from a link via Mary H. blog. This card is lovely. I am certain you are the only person who knows it slipped a bit. I like the big word. I am looking for some large script dies but i have only found ´Hello´so far. I could cut them on my silhouette, but a die is often easier! Kate x
Loving all that beautiful sponging, fabulous colors, really POPS! The texture is wonderful and that big bold sparkly smile is awesome! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Great Impressions!!!
Maxine, this card is so shimmery/sparkly and it sure does make one smile when gazing upon it! Lovely!
WOW! I never would have thought to mask off an area and THEN to emboss it. It gives a really cool effect! Super pretty design, Maxine!
This is gorgeous, Maxine! Love the sparkle.
Hugs and blessings,
Em
