"Weathered Metal" with Inchies

Inchies often make a great basis for jewellery pieces and the weight of chipboard of the Tando Creative inchies makes for a sturdy finished piece.

In this tutorial I'll talk you through using an embossing folder to texture the inchies, achieving a weathered metal look with VerDay paint and patina solution and combining the three inchies in an "argyle" pattern for an interesting base that could make a pendant or a brooch.

There's a step-by-step included in the description area on YouTube if you'd like something as printed reference rather than just the video - just click on the little YouTube icon at the bottom of the video preview below to watch it over there rather than watching it embedded here if you'd like to access that written summary.

Hope you enjoy it!
