Metal look Embossing

Morning and a Happy New Year to you all-this is my second DT post today which is for 613 Avenue Create "Totally Technical" challenge.I decided to decorate an MDF set of drawers bought from The Works earlier in the Summer.I gave them a coat of gesso then a coat of black acrylic.I then embossed some matt silver card I had with a Tim Holts Cogs EF,then wiped it with black acrylic then highlighted with Gold Treasure Metallic Gilding polish.I was supposed to take step by step pics but got carried away so will have to show a before and after sorry.
