Every since Tim Holtz posted his method for making faux metal finish effects on paper, I have been playing with the idea. It makes a nice masculine background and I had a couple of 'guy birthdays' that I wanted to make cards for. I put so much stuff on the card that you can hardly see the background, but, it looks like sheet metal riveted together. Then I stapled some of the film strip and added some dictionary page and a stamped typewriter. Oh and I glued on some hardware, too.
Here is the link to the technique - I am thinking about doing a picture frame this way...
