I used two stencils for this card that I cut with my Cameo. One was sponged with pear ink and then overstamped with script, the other was partially covered with embossing paste.
I die-cut two leaves from copper and then pounced the leaves with a mix of alcohol inks. I stamped a sentiment banner and added a twine bow to finish.
Also entering this into the latest MIX-ability challenge (#83) ... natural element: Earth.

This is just stunning! I love the collage look of the overstamping and the embossing paste, and your copper leaves just pop. And I really like the overall soft look of the finished product.

Gorgeous metal leaves Loll that glow. I love how you added your alcohol ink. Wonderful stamped, stenciled and eb with paste background too. TFS my friend.
WOW!! Loll, this is stunning! I love the partial leaves and script, added emb paste element and your copper leaves are so gorgeous!! I never thought of using alcohol inks on the copper--thanks for the idea. I have a few so I can try it.

The look of this card is awesome! I love the understated - yet incredibly complex - background layers and yes, your copper leaves are beautiful!

Wow! I have a hunch quite a few of us will be casing THIS beauty! I have used the alcohol ink to fix a bad job of burning but love the look even better without the burning! Awesome background work! Right into favorites even before commenting!
