Knowing that this very talented lady is on the 2015-2016 Artisan Design Team gave me an inkling that choosing a card to CASE might be tricky but it turned out to be even more difficult than I anticipated!
I love the way that Cindy heat embossed and coloured the Fancy Frost DSP so I decided to use my favourite ... Copper embossing powder and combined it with Dapper Denim for a change.

Using a light touch, I swiped a Versamark pad across the Fancy Frost paper, sprinkled with the copper embossing powder and heat embossed. I then sponged with Island Indigo ink followed by a very light touch of Dapper Denim over the raised areas. I then cut the piece to size and sponged the edges with Dapper Denim ink.

I then made a swing fold card using Dapper Denim cardstock. I added my Fancy Frost paper to the centre front and a frame of Copper Foil Sheet. I used the Botanical Builder Framelits to create the floral decorations with Copper Foil Sheet, Dapper Denim and Marina Mist cardstocks. I used Fancy Frost sequins for the centres of the flowers.

I adhered a piece of Marina Mist cardstock to the inside back of the card and stamped a greeting from the Tin of Cards stamp set in Basic Black ink. I added some little Copper Foil blossoms that were cut with the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits.

| The combination of Dapper Denim and Copper is very elegant |
The other part of the card, I decorated with the remainder of my Fancy Frost paper and a greeting from the Hostess stamp set called Gift of Love.
 |
| Whilst not copper in colour, the Fancy Frost Sequins go very well with this colour scheme |
I used this greeting because it epitomises my friend - she is so incredibly loving, nurturing and caring that it's a wonderful gift that she gives to the world. I stamped it onto Soft Sky cardstock and cut it out with one of the new Stitched Shapes Framelits whch I layered onto a piece of Copper Foil cut with one of the Layering Squares Framelits and added a couple more of the Bloomin' Heart little blossoms.
