Oxidized Copper

Hello friends.  I'm glad you stopped by!

Here's another angle.

In my quest for a decent 'oxidized metal' card, I thought of a NBUS jar of

embossing powder in my stash. The name of it is Verdigris.  When I checked

the definition, I saw it's a word for oxidation of copper.

Sooo, I pulled out a piece of thin copper sheet and die cut it in the shape

of a maple leaf.  I patted a little Wow embossing pad over the top and

heat embossed with the Verdigris powder.

I used the same technique to add some Aged Gold embossing powder and

while it was still hot, sprinkled a little more of the Verdigris.

It's hard to see the forest of trees embossed behind the leaf.  I had a 

devil of a time getting a decent photograph!

There's still time share a card with oxidized metal at 

CAS Mix Up.

This technique is so good for masculine cards!

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
