Copper Paisley Card

Isn't this gorgeous?  I was looking for something last night when I came across a package of Magenta Copper Paisley Peel Offs that I bought several years ago.  In my quest to start using some of the cool things that I've been hoarding over the years, I decided to use them.
I applied the peel offs (stickers) randomly to a piece of black cardstock to make this copper paisley background.  The card is layered with some copper metallic cardstock that I believe may be from SU, but I'm not positive as it's another item I've been hoarding for years.  

For some reason this card is not photographing to it's full potential (even after several attempts) but you should know that it is really striking in real life.
I embellished the card with some wide grosgrain ribbon in black and some copper metal embellishments that were in my stash- also being hoarded.  (Are you seeing a pattern here?)
And here's the inside with a bit of matching detail courtesy of my circle and scalloped circle punches.

Thanks for stopping by!  Please make sure to come back soon because I have some other copper stuff to share this week.

You think it didn't photograph well. That is one gorgeous card. TFS.

I am a copper girl thru and thru and just absolutely LOVE this!!! Oh, and the paisley is my favorite pattern. You sure know how to keep me as an adoring fan! Good news ~ I made a bit more of the wrinkle free distress backgrounds and actually made 2 things and sent them off! Trying not to hoard, trying not to hoard...

This is way cool! Because I photograph this kind of stuff all the time, I my brain seems to fill in the missing "zing" of the photo, lol! I don't own rub ons, but I do have copper embossing powder...

Oh, and I love how you did the embellishing! That's also a limited area for me, so I really like the creative way you put that together.
