IC311 ~ Copper Birthday

Photo Details

Poster: SmilynStef

My card for this week's Inspiration Challenge was inspired by this Mixed Media Necklace from Singing Cat Studio. I loved the shape, colors, and floral embellishment, so that is what I incorporated into my card design.

Metallic Teal Cardstock was embossed and then rubbed with Copper Metallic Rub-ons to achieve a similar look.

I used my sentiment strip to create a simlar division between the patterns seen in the sections of the pendant. I added a cooper flower and a few turquoise adhesive gems before attaching to a metallic copper cardstock base.

I hope you find inspiration.

I love the patina that the copper and teal have. Very elegant card! Thanks for inspiring.

You've captured the true essence of copper and the wonderful patina that follows with aging, Stef! Gorgeous design!

I totally fell in love with the same jewelry piece you did! I'm crazy about your inspiration take on it, especially the copper flower and the CAS layout. The textures are truly beyond what you would expect from paper! TFS
