Here's the card and envelope together.
There was some SU! 'Champagne' Foil Sheet in my stash which had never been used so I chose that and embossed a panel of the foil with the SU! 'Hexagons' 3D Dynamic embossing folder. I followed Lisa's excellent instructions using SU! Black Archival ink, VersaMark and Copper and Silver embossing powders. I was really pleased with the way the panel turned out, Lisa does promise that the technique is fool proof!
For the sentiment panel I stamped onto a die cut rectangle, stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed using Copper embossing powder. I die cut two leaf clusters, one in black and one in Copper Foil sheet, leaving the pieces in the copper shape I removed the pieces from the black shape and glued it on top of the copper shape. I popped up the leaf cluster and the sentiment rectangle. To finish the front I added some copper metallic gems.
Here's a closer look at the tarnished foil panel.
Here's the inside of the card. The sentiment is copper heat embossed and I added three Champagne Foil Sheet punched hearts. Underneath I adhered a die cut black 'ribbon' using a Grosgrain Ribbon die and added a narrow strip of Copper Foil Sheet underneath. I used the largest die in the Creative Dies Plus 'Nesting Rectangles Wonky Stitches' die set to cut the panel for inside the card. I just LOVE that it fits A6 sized cards when the majority of die sets are more suitable for A2 sized cards! I'm very happy about that - plus the bargain £5.49 price!
Here's the front of the envelope with a popped up leafy cluster and a bookplate name label. I added silver nailheads to the bookplate label. It's fun to mix up metallics now and then!
