Tarnished Metal Masculine Birthday Card Tutorial

Hello fellow stampers and card makers!

I am in love with this technique! Doesn't the background look like tarnished metal?

I think this technique is perfect for masculine cards - this one is a birthday card but you could make it work for any sentiment. It's so much easier than it looks and is sure to impress your friends and family.

Here's what you will need:

  • embossing folder
  • mirror cardstock - gold, silver, or copper
  • 2 - embossing powder colors
  • Stazon black inkpad
  • Versamark pen
For this card, I used silver mirror cardstock with gold and copper embossing powder. Any combination works, just use what you have. The background is made with a clock embossing folder. Tip: when dry embossing with mirror cardstock use a thinner sandwich in your die cutting machine.  Thicker sandwiches will press the folder too much causing the paper to tear. Once the paper is embossed, take the Stazon inkpad and lightly drag the ink across the raised images.  This gives it an aged look.

Make sure to dry the ink before moving to the next step. I use my heat tool to quickly dry the ink. Now comes the fun part. Using the Versamark pen, color in patches on the embossed piece leaving some of the mirror cardstock exposed. Cover with gold embossing powder shaking off the excess.  The powder only sticks to the Versamark ink and then emboss with a heat tool. Repeat the same process with the copper embossing powder. Continue to add both colors until you get the coverage you like.


To finish the tarnished metal look, add more Stazon ink by apply the inkpad direct to the paper. Again, use your heat tool to dry but be careful not the melt the embossing you already applied.



Next, I added an embossed happy birthday sentiment and made a simple embellishment. I think this card is stunning and so much fun to do!

I hope you give this technique a try.

Happy Stamping!

    Palm Pre Rolls Canada – best recreational cannabis online dispensary in Canada, is known for its premium prerolls, here you can find a huge variety of strains to choose from. The strain’s characteristics can vary greatly from grower to grower. Different growing, harvesting and processing conditions inevitably result in varying
    cannabinoid and terpene contents. Palm offers either pure or hybrid varieties of the plant genus Cannabis, which encompasses the species C. Sativa and C. Indica. These are its premium prerolls. Other than this it also has a huge range of fruit-flavoured prerolls.

    If we talk about Watermelon wave, this is 80% Indica strain, which delivers a host of beautiful effects on users, usually a heavy body high, hence the name wave on the watermelon kush. If we take the THC content into consideration. As we know once it reaches 20%, then we know a strain is potent. So, in the case of the Watermelon strain, users should understand their limits. As for new users, or those who are using marijuana for the first time, better use this one with caution.

Nonetheless, from what precisely I have personally seen, I just hope when other remarks pile on that folks stay on point and not start upon a soap box of some other news du jour.
