Wednesday Stamper - Metal


I absolutely love stamping on copper, so today's Wednesday's Stamper challenge was so much fun. I get my copper in bulk from S&S Worldwide. For $15.99 you get 40 4.5 x 4.5 sheets already cut. I mean REALLY! It's cheap..and it's awesome.

For this 5x5 collage, I colored the copper with alcohol inks. I scratched and hammered the copper so it would look a little more "aged". Then I stamped in light pink pigment ink the cedar branch that you can just barely see as border. After that I added some lovely dresden foil from Rock Candy Studios as a border to the copper. The die cut santa is also from Rock Candy Studios. Stamps and sentiment are from Artistic Outpost. Thanks for looking...

You have inspired me to use my copper (instead of hoarding it), but I can't imagine that I could make anything that beautiful!

Moving your studio was a fabulous idea! You are so productive these days!
