Layered Patina Painted Hutch

I am really excited to show you another layered technique I have done. This time I used 7 different paint colors. I paint furniture like I paint canvas. One of the things I like to do when I paint, is study my subject. So I decided to start studying patinas.

I have started a Patina Pinterest board. From texture to colors and chippiness will get pinned there. 

I used the same technique for the layered patina painted hutch as I did for my french end tables. The difference is the amount of colors and type of paint. I used Annie Sloan for the end tables and my new paint Country Chic for this hutch.

I started with my signature color paint Dreamingincolor. That is the base color that start the layered patina painted hutch.

Dreamingincolor {A Dream Begins the Story you Live}

I few years ago my last child went of to college.

I decided to start a blog then.

Weird because I had no clue had to do it.

I just did it!

Oh yes! I was scared to death. Scared to fail but I didn't let that stop me.

The blog has kept me creating ever since which is my love and passion.

I wrote a post about My Craft Room explaining my dream. My art and furniture became Micucci Designs. Micucci is how I sign all my work.I titled it , A Craft Room: A Dream Begins. It became a finalist in the HGTV Shaw floor Contest.

and then it started

My New Business Cards for SNAP

SNAP is here and I am so excited to be going to Utah!! It looks so beautiful!

Getting ready for a blogging conference is so much fun and it is a great excuse to get some new stuff!
It is always a good thing to refresh your look. I did some refreshing, got a haircut, did my nails, and and got some new shoes!  That might not be a big deal to you but I never paint my fingernails because they are always in paint!

There are tons of amazing women going. These women have already inspired me as I have been getting to know them before the conference. I can't wait to share our stories with you. Just like I did when I went to Haven. This is my first time going to SNAP and I have already participated in twitter parties and and craft swaps!!

With all this excitement I decided to create some new business cards. I thought about it for awhile and created them.  I even added a QR code to the back with my picture and blog button.

Then.....

There was a big problemmmmm! While not wearing my glasses, I made some changes to the layout!

I said while I was NOT wearing my glasses!

So when I opened the beautiful box wrapped in ribbon and looked at my new cards.

Then to my horror......I seen letters missing on a couple of my social sites.

Can we say stupid!? I wanted to cry.

So I did what any DIY'er would do and fixed it! I am not happy with making a sticker for it but it could have been worse. (I am so anal and this really bothers me)

I will change it again for my next conference with more colors to the card but I do like them. To top them off I applied a little colorful treat.

I hope you like them!!

I will be handing them all out I know. The best thing about blogging conferences is always learning something new and meeting great friends. So wish me luck!
