Hi everyone. Today's card is a CASE of a card I made way back in 2014. This is one of my favourite cards I've made in the many years I have been crafting, and it popped into my head recently. I dug through my dies and found that I still had some leaves cut from leftover copper with alcohol inks pounced on top. Awesome! This means I'm getting to use up come long neglected die-cuts ... as well as some old patterned paper. :)

Sending this card to Seize the Birthday #284 - which was my inspiration! Thanks Ashwini!
Also sending to IDEAS - "Anything Goes" week, self challenge by Dolly. I've used some long neglected papers and copper! :)
This card is very close to the original card I made ... a little more CAS. :) Always good to have masculine cards on hand.

Beautiful Loll, I remember some of your copper cards from the past. This is stunning and you're right it's always good to have a masculine card on hand.
ReplyDeleteI remember this card from way back, and I ordered that copper after I saw it!! Now I’m going to make more leaves. Have LOTS of that copper to use up!Ha! Any other ideas for using that copper?
ReplyDeleteHi Donna. I received your email, but you came in as no-reply-blogger so I couldn't reply directly. I used the copper mostly to cut leaves for cards, but I did use it as backgrounds too. You can heat it with a torch, or pounce with a bit alcohol inks (leave lots of the copper showing) ... or you can use it plain. It dry embosses beautifully. Loll :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful leaves, lovely patterned paper. I am inspired to get out the copper I still have! Good idea to use up some of the older stuff. Great photos of Jessie and Violeta.
ReplyDeleteI've always been fond of your copper leaves, Loll. The card turned out beautifully along with that background. Haven't seen the in a while so this was a treat! JUst gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLoll, this card is stunning, and those leaves are jaw dropping gorgeous! thank you so much for playing with us at Seize the Birthday, we can always count on you for beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness are these leaves gorgeous! I love that you CASEd yourself from so long ago. This is a wonderful masculine card and your pups are so cute too! Thanks for sharing them with us and thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful detail with those leaves! Thanks for joining in at STB
ReplyDeleteOH yes Loll, those 'metallic' leaves look amazing.. I love your card and the lovely pics of the pups... hope your settling in is going well. hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteI have a sheet of old copper and I'm still wondering whether cutting the copper with a die will damage the die...? Looking at this card, I have the impression that even damaging the die will be worth it if you make such a beautiful card. Stunning!
