"inchies" with Faux Metal Patina Verdigris Effect

I just had to play with my patina technique on some inchies...I love this...they really look like little metal pieces...I started by painting the one on the left with patina colored acrylic paint, then when dry, I embossed in my Cuttlebug embossing folder, then used black ink to color the raised areas...the inchie on the right...I embossed then rubbed the patina colored acrylic paint over the embossed area...I spattered each with some black ink using a Marvy marker and my spritzer, then added some gold paint with a scrunched up piece of saran wrap...I brushed a light coat of Plaid Decoupage Medium over each inchie...to give a bit of sheen to the faux metal patina technique I created...
