Faux metal

I don't know why I am showing this card as the image didn't come out as I wanted it to on the faux metal part. I was experimenting with this technique and saw a card (can't remember whose it was--should write it down) in the Splitcoast gallery that I fell in love with and tried to recreate it. I used a backgrounder from CHF and the first image was good and then when I tried to do more, none of them turned out. What a mess. I need to work on my backgrounder technique I guess. I planned to use this card for a friend's daughter's wedding, but not sure if I will now. Maybe she wouldn't notice the messup. Maybe I should try another and work on the background stamp. I got very frustrated.
Thanks for checking in.
