I have now stitched three of the pieces of copper shim onto a scrap of velvet I had lying around. I put a bit of calico behind the velvet and held it in place with some MistyFuse. The copper shim has got a piece of black felt stuck on the back.
A piece of dissolvable fabric (Romeo?) was laid over the area of velvet where the metal shim was to hold the stitches on the surface of the velvet. I used a variegated thread for the one above and a metallic thread for the one below.
I used a rust coloured thread in the bobbin which is showing through in places.
