I think you're going to really like Challenge #79: Copper and Green. Remember, you can use any hues of the two colors and neutrals are welcome. 
I started by embossing one of my favorite background stamps, PFS Lush Vines, on black watercolor paper using my very old JudiKins Metallic Copper embossing powder. Then I painted the leaves with Altenew Metallic watercolors. I used one of the green watercolors as is and mixed a lighter one with a color I thought would give it a copper tinge. The little dots were glittered using a Quickie Glue Pen and Elizabeth Crafts Sweet Basil. I gave up trying for a better picture after what seemed like 100 attempts--haha! Hopefully, you can get an idea of the look in this angled shot. You can see the shimmer and shine in my IG post.
Greta, your copper + green Lush Vines are beautiful!, especially against the black background! The friend receiving this will be delighted! Wonderful to have you guest designing with us over at Colour Hues!
