I started by creating a stencil monoprint background with a mini tiles stencil, using Lindy's magicals. The colours are very intense and also very sparkly. I thought they would work really well with the copper. I die-cut a fern leaf from a heated copper sheet and attached it to the card front. A simple sentiment is heat embossed in copper to match.
