I used the technique on the circle in the middle of the card. I used soft suede for the card stock and the acrylic paint I used (the only one I had!) is Pearl. I thought I had many bottle of the Ranger paint dabbers, but apparently they are all distress inks! So Pearl it was. It looks like tin to me on this paper. I first ran the circle through the embossing folder, then painted on the Pearl paint and dried it with a heat gun. I sanded it with a Tim Holtz sander. I didn't have to do the next step in the tutorial, which was to apply a distress ink over the sanded parts to make it look more distressed because my paper color did that for me. Then I just put the card together. The paper is SU's Everyday Enchantment, the dies are Simply Jane and Beautiful Blooms from PTI, the brad is SU too, and the cardstock is soft suede and poppy parade. The sentiment was created using a Spellbinder's die and the sentiment is from PTI's Blooming Button Bits.
This is the sketch I used. I generally don't care for middle panels turned on an angle, but I saw some cards made with this sketch and I kind of liked it!
