I stamped onto vellum and onto the Close to Cocoa Cardstock that I used as my base. I used Brushed Metallic Copper c/s for my "spine". All of the embossing is copper.
Would love to know what you think.

Wow, MM! Wow, wow, wow! This is unbelievable. I love all the elements, the embossing (I think both dry and wet) and the colors and the use of vellum. Very nice, very, very nice! Into my favorites.

I think this is absolutely stunning! I love the copper embossing. And the Baroque Motifs makes this look so elegant! Great idea to make a spine on the left with the copper as well. This is fantastic!!!

Magie, it's beautiful, the copper looks great.
But just a question, the brushed metalic copper...is that like embossing powder? Just wanted to know as I have embossed onto vellum and found that after time the design comes right off the vellum.
