I'm calling this Cuttlebug crayon resist, but it's really kind of a faux metal.
It uses wax crayons (eg: Crayola) & works a lot like emboss resist, only you don't need embossing powder. You just cuttlebug, use the side of a crayon(s) to rub over the raised areas and swipe on ink(s)
This particular card was made like this:
1. Emboss white cardstock in cuttlebug folder (this is Floral Fantasy)
2. Rub with turquoise crayon, white crayon, sienna (reddish brown)
3. Sponge on ink: chocolate chip wash, tuquoise
4. Sand with an emery board for texture
To make the Bow:
1. Cut a length of ribbon about 3" (this is SU's chocolate chip 5/8 grosgrain)
2. Seal ends lightly with lighter
3. Add adhesive on back in the middle
4. Bring two ends towards back
5. Use a piece of cuttlebugged paper (inked) to create center band
The vellum was white vellum cardstock that I tinted with turquoise ink.
Other Card Details:
The Chocolate Chip mat (in between the tinted vellum and the cuttlebugged piece) is sponged with a mix of chocolate chip and black craft ink to darken it. The main Chocolate Chip card is darkened by rubbing the side of a crayon along it (and heat-gunning to rid it of some of the waxiness.)
The "Congratulations" sentiment is from Typewriter Wishes. It's stamped in Timber Brown Stazon. The dollar store gems are glued on with Crystal Effects.
Paper: vellum cardstock, chocolate chip, white cardstock (to do the cuttlebug technique)
Ink: Timber Brown Stazon (congrats), chocolate chip & tempting turquoise to sponge onto embossed paper
Accessories: Cuttlebug, Floral Fantasy embossing folder, turquoise crayon, white crayon, sienna (reddish brown) crayon, sponge, chocolate chip 5/8 inch grosgrain ribbon, dollar store gems

The card is just gorgeous. The technique sounds a bit complex - but would be worth having a go at if you get a result this good. But I really like the effort you've made in displaying this card for the photo - very stylish.
