This is what I'm working on currently. I've started with a Crafty Chica shrine I picked up on sale about a year ago. I've begun by spraying it with my Color Mists --they really take to natural wood nicely, like a stain almost, yet without the mess of a stain.
I had some Anaglypta wallpaper that was in one of my erosion bundles , so I decided to give my box a embossed faux metal look. Again, I used my Color Mists to give the wallpaper an aged and patinaed look. View my process below:

 | I first cut out the wallpaper ahead of time so I'd have a medallion and a tile shape. Next I used the following Color Mists on them: Tiger's Eye Brown, Copper Kettle, Emerald Isle Green, Tungsten Carbide. I dried them with the heat gun and then sprayed again until I achieved the look I liked. Then I rubbed the raised areas over a brown Staz on stamp pad. Next I added a brad to the center medallion. |  |
The metallic looking wallpaper is amazing. You have such a good imagination to think these things up. And, your pictures and description means we can all try it; thanks.
