This is my entry for this weeks Global Design Project. The theme is Get Well Soon. Mine is not exactly a “get Well Card” I had a specific design in mind for trying out this new copper embossing powder and the sentiment shown is a “Get Well” wish of sorts! There are lots of great ideas for actual “Get Well Cards” over at Global Design Project. Click on the image below to see what everyone else has submitted this week. There are some really impressive entries.
I have been dying to try out this copper embossing powder since I saw it at On Stage. It has been sitting on my desk since April and this is when I finally got around to trying it out. All I can say is love, love, love this! I have been missing this color since the Brushed Copper paper was retired. Copper has such a rich look to it. And while I love silver and gold, copper is so unexpected and yet so on trend right now. The image does not show it well, but the embossed badge looks as if it is made it of metal. And, I am keeping my fingers crossed that we see Copper Foil paper soon! As you can see, we did get the copper thread. I generally just make a big “bird’s nest” with the metallic threads. I think you need lots of it for it to show against a DSP background. And I don’t care if I am messy with it. I love the shine!

Wow, your use of copper on this card suits that DSP perfectly! I love how you have used it through the just centre of the card too. Thanks for playing at Global Design Project with us this week for our Get Well Challenge.
Thank you Paula!
