I've tried this technique before without having a name for it, so when Faux Tarnished Silver was the featured tutorial today I thought I'd give it another go. It always fascinates me how it looks a bit different each time.
A2 black base. I used a pearlescent cream card for everything else except the image panel, which is just a scrap of old wrinkle-free distress with heavy sponging.
Panels are matted on black, large one embossed with Swiss Dots, small one with Birds and Vines.
WSD image stamped with Versafine black and coloured with distress inks, Liquid Pearls and Stickles added to the flowers, Glossy Accents to the birds. Sponging is Antique Linen.

Sabrina this is totally great. You really did well on the tarnished silver and I love your mixture of that and embossing and pearls. This is very pretty.
The circles look great using the Tarnished Silver technique. I really like the paper you used. I need to find some of that. Cute image. This is a very pretty card Sabrina.

This is a great card with so much happening yet so softly applied.
