*I also used an embossing folder but little of that showed after we did the effect. Use any embossing folder you have as the design really won't show

Directions for rust paste:
1. Mix grit in to dark brown (burnt umber) and reddish brown (burnt sienna) separately. You want a loose mud consistency.

2. Apply dark brown to your substrate (use embossed thin cardboard with layers of die cut cardboard for a nice texture) with a stiff brush working it into the nooks and crannies. You can stipple on the paint for extra texture. Let dry.

3. Dry brush copper or gold over the panel.

4. Use a palette knife to apply the reddish brown. You can stipple on some of the red brown color too.

5. Mix turquoise and white to make a pale aqua. Add water and apply to panel then spray with water so it will drip and look like patina.
