I just can't get enough of the heated copper technique. Loll really has me hooked :-) Do check out Loll's Blog for all the hints for using the copper and gorgeous samples.
I was so pleased the way the Fresh Foliage Die worked on the Copper. I did roll thru my Big Shot 3 times and then turned over and rolled thru 3 more times. Worked great. You could try an extra shim probably too. Every Die seems to work differently. The Sizzix Bigz Dies work really well every time as well as Embossing Folders.
Just play around with the technique. Way, way Fun!
I designed my layout completely with the CAS(E) this Sketch #69 Challenge in mind. This challenge has become one of my very favorites. Do check out the Blog and fabulous samples from their very talented DT.
Enjoy and keep those in your thoughts that need it! Even better...let them know you care with a beautiful card made with Love :-)

OMGosh! Nancy, this is just OUTSTANDING!!! I love the different colors of the heated copper leaves! The DP panel adds interest, but doesn't detract and I love the way you added the sentiment! I can see that I'm going to have to get some copper and PLAY!!! Thanks for the inspiration my friend!

Your photo, alone, would grab my attention and get me drooling, but to see this IRL is unbelievable! I couldn't get enough of it. I'm hoarding my one little piece of copper. I know I want to cut some ferns, but I'll have to give some thought to the card. Thanks, Nancy!
