Paisleys & Posies and Copper Foil Fun

If you saw yesterday's post, you know I'm in love with Stampin' Up!'s copper products! Today's projects combine our copper foil and Paisleys & Posies Photopolymer stamp set.

The first card is quite simple, but the copper adds an elegant touch. The second card has a few more steps, but the result is totally worth it; don't you agree? 🙂 I love that both of these cards use navy, too. Navy is definitely a “go to” color for me.
