Copper was the big excitement when the new catalog debuted for 2016-2017. And as much as I love it, I really don’t use it enough. Continuing my fascination with the So Detailed Thinlits, I decided to try something a little different. I first tried die cutting a piece of copper foil paper. But that was just too much. Then I got the idea of die cutting a copper foiled design from the Affectionately Yours DSP. That ended up being the perfect solution to show copper in just the right amount!
This copper foiled DSP design is really pretty on its own. But as a die cut in this design, it really takes on a whole new look. I layered it on Soft Suede, which has been my favorite “brown” the last few projects. Then, I embossed the stamped sentiment with Copper Embossing Powder. A little copper thread and a few pearls completed the look. I kept thinking 1920’s and “Downton Abbey” while doing this card. In fact, I think even the Dowager Countess Grantham would like this card!
