I love the photo corner technique! I've had some of that foil like aluminum for over a year and wasn't sure how I would use so maybe I'll try your technique! Thanks for that!

i bought them from someone who gets them from mexico. in spanish theyre called patinas. its like a very liquidy paint and it looks like the paint to tint windows

What sort of special paints do you use? I've pretty much always used acrylics - they're great if you don't lay the paint on too thick (too thick and it tends to "peel" when you sand it). Haven't tried sharpies :) hx

i do metal embossing but just a bit differently. i like the idea of painting it and then scraping it off. i usually just paint it with special paints or sharpies.
