Owl in Copper

Hello and wewlcome to my blog  :)  I have a stylish and fun card to share today, another of my CB samples from December's shows.  I have used stamps from the Wise Owl and Fly Away With Me sets; Copper Soft Form Relief Paste, copper embossing powder, copper artists pen, and gold gilding wax.

 On a piece of black card I stamped several different sizes of feathers with Versafine ink and embossed them in copper.  I then used a copper pen around the edges.  

I created some embellishments using the Soft Form paste, I spread it over the owl and feather stamps and left it to dry overnight.  Meanwhile I stamped and embossed the quote onto a spare piece of black card in copper.  I then tore the card around the quote and added gold gilding wax to the torn edges.  
   

When the paste was set and dry I peeled it off the stamps.  All the detail from the stamps was now revealed in 3D.  I added some gilding wax to all the embellishments to highlight the details.  

I attached the background panel to a white base card then added all the embellishments.  I positioned one of the feathers with the end of it's quill next to the last word of the quote, as if it had just finished writing it.  

I loved creating this card using just three colours, it is both stylish and striking.  I think it is suitable for any recipient, and many occasions.
