The challenge was to either stamp leaves or do something different - I chose to do copper leaves.
A while back, Loll Thompson shared her heated copper technique at one of our get togethers. See her video tutorial for SCS here. I made some wonderful pieces of copper so took one of them and die cut the leaves for this card. The heating changes the colour of the copper sheeting.
I die cut a white deckled edge rectangle, layered it over a black panel on which I'd stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, and used a white card base. It makes a great masculine birthday card and I have a couple of male friends with birthdays in September so it's great to have a card ready for one of them.

Now those are just beautiful! And I know it's even more so in real life. The leaves look just gorgeous. And yay for a September birthday card all lined up and ready to go.
