Creative Chemistry 102: Distress Paint Eroded Metallic

This one we're going to call an epic fail.  Tim warned us that the technique doesn't always work.  I am proof.  The technique is achieved by laying down a varied color of Distress paint on the tag.  He suggests blues and greens to get a copper erosion technique.  I don't think my incorrect coloring is the problem here, just a execution problem.  After the layer of color is applied and dry, a strong layer of metallic color (in this case Antique Bronze) is applied and then water is flicked onto the paint.  You then apply a little heat from a heat gun until the edges have dried a bit (not too much) and apply a paper towel over the paint.  This should lift off paint and leave some behind causing the eroded look.  I'm going to have to keep trying, this bit didn't work.
