Fantastic hint about the brass patina...I'm just getting into the metal side of things. I will have to ask my dad for his castoffs.

I am in love with my cuttlebug and the designs that you can get using it. I do have one dumb question - I have strayed away from shapes that I cut out myself and have used mostly precut blanks. How did you obtain the curve on the edges (did you file them?) I figure that is the most logical way but when I start to file things they doing always cooperate.
