Ambered Leaves

Here is another card made for the HYCCT project. We were to use metal in our cards. I cut out 3 pieces of foil (glued first to scrap cardstock) from leaf dies. I then added colors, Perfect Pearls, and metallic pastes, then more Perfect Pearls. ---I forgot to say that the last step is to use two coats of UTEE for making the leaves extra shiny, smooth, charm-like, and translucent.
I used a crimper to some background paper and I think the rest is self explanatory :)

Delightful card, and I love your metal leaves. Nice to know about using the pastes on the metal. I have some aluminum foil leaves cut out to work on, using alcohol inks. May add a little paste when I'm finished. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing a lovely card. Hugs
