• Stylus (wood, metal, plastic)
• Sheet of thin copper or tin
• Pattern
• Scissors
• Firm yet soft surface such as a notebook to work on
• (to make card you will need cardstock and double stick tape and ribbon, I think this would look great framed also.)

1. Cut the appropriate size of copper for the piece you are doing.

2. Place copper shiny side down on notebook.

3. Place pattern on top of copper.

4. Using a stylus gently yet firmly trace the entire pattern. You may want to use tape to hold your pattern in place. Use a low tack tape.

5. After you have completely traced the pattern you may go over the areas again that you want a deeper embossing on.

6. After you have completed the embossing you can apply a patina if desired.

7. Now glue the embossed copper to a card with glue or double stick tape.

8. A few things to keep in mind:

• The metal will have sharp edges so handle carefully.
• The metal is extremely soft and will mar easily .
• The instructions that came with my pattern recommended filling the underside with plaster or glue.

I did and it just popped out, I applied double stick tape to the glue and the metal and then stuck it to the cardstock .

I put on a little bow and this made a great Valentine! Have fun, DAZ
