Metal Grumpie

Well, its a blog hop again and here is my card, hope you like it.
The pictures that I took all turned out a bit blurry.  the shine of the copper really didnt help.  With a match (well quite a few) as my little burner ran out of gas, I distressed the copper to give the lovely colours in it. I again used a grumpie stamp and I stamped her onto a sheet of copper with Top Boss embossing pad, then used black embossing powder to to give her a lift as well as stand out.  I was suprised how well this worked, I had tried embossing on a few sheets then bent them to make sure the image didnt distort, which it didnt, yeah.  Then used any papers that looked good with the copper and the image.
