Today it's time for a new challenge over at Create With Connie and Mary and this week we have a colour combination for you:
I was immediately drawn to the Petals and Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper as all of these colours can be found in this pack. I ended up only using a small piece of it though - here's my card:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
Copper Specialty Banner - I chose to use a piece of my favourite paper, the beautifully navy with copper-embossed pattern for the banner accent on my card. So pretty!
All About Copper - There are so many copper elements to my card: the foil die cuts and mat, the designer series paper and the copper-embossed sentiment - they all go together beautifully and I love them!
A Paper-Pieced Trio - I die cut my shapes - not sure whether they are supposed to be leaves, feathers or fans...answers on a postcard! - and having die cut two in Mint Macaron and another in Night of Navy, I carefully paper-pieced the outer elements and in-filled the pattern. This is fiddly with such small pieces, but worth the effort I think. I then finished each shape with an enamel dot.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:
I love the simple design of today's card, with the small details adding real interest.

Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
