Create the look of rusted metal with this fun technique.
After discovering this tutorial on Pinterest, I knew I wanted to try it on a piece of die cut Creative License Gunmetal paper.
Gather Mod Podge and acrylic paints in two shades of brown and light green and an old paint brush.
Pounce dark brown paint randomly onto the die cut paper leaving areas of the Gunmetal paper showing.
Add light brown sparingly over the dark brown paint.
Dab on Modge Podge matte medium over the painted areas.
While still wet, run to the spice rack and grab ground cinnamon (yes, you read that right) and sprinkle over the paper.
Add further dimension using a heat tool which will cause the mixture to bubble and blister.
Add a faux patina by dabbing light green paint onto several areas of the paper.
Create a layout with the Faux Rusted Gunmetal featured as an embellishment.
Create a title block with the Creative License digital kit and digi scrapbooking software. Print onto white paper, crop and add to the layout.
Now it's your turn to get down 'n' dirty with this unique technique!
