| I must have an angel card for my family each year; we have a special connection to the "Seraphim" class. Mercury glass takes me back to childhood Christmases in our family home, so finding and using this paper was a labor of love. Quite by accident, the image has a verdigris hint; it must be the embossing powder because I added nothing and tried many, many times for a pure copper color. I was going for a metallic color combination, rich and simple. This was done in June 2014 on vacation; I can't wait to mail out the creations! |
