Copper

Copper is a new material I'm experimenting with for card making. When heated it changes from pink to sunset shades. The deep orange with purple hints is gorgeous. Here punched squares of copper have been decorated with red wire and glassbeads.

Beautiful effects can be achieved by dry embossing as the margin on this mini card shows. The tiny butterflies have been punched from scraps of copper and even the negatives have been used.

The top copper card looks to me like a Picasso version of a chocolate Easter egg! Very nice colours.
