You all know by now that we are addicted to our new Patinas & Glaze. Hope you have had a chance to order a set to play with. This week’s project features the same steps as our “Spring Rain” Patina & Glaze on Arte Metal Tutorial. I created a matching bracelet with our Arte Metal Waterlily Ribbon Slide and a beautiful hand dyed silk ribbon from our Online Bead Partner Lima Beads.

The two Arte Metal Rounded 2-Hole Plates on each side of the focal have been etched with a Sizzix DecoEtch Die by Vintaj. The design was accentuated with Marine Patina, which adds a faint color to the impressions and accents the aqua Waterlily Ribbon Slide and silk.

All beads, Vintaj embellishments, and Patinas & Glaze available at Limabeads.com!
