hello everyone...i seem to have no trouble using up silver or pweter hardware but i have some copper clips/brads/eyelets that i seem to be having trouble using i guess i'm just not inspired. i was just wondering if anybody had something fabulous to suggest that i do with them. Thanks!

I love copper. If you have the SU Hodgepodge Aged Copper and want a different look, try lightly sanding the pieces with a fine grit sandpaper for a brighter copper finish. I think this looks great with the darker colors like Handsome Hunter, Night of Navy, Not Quite Navy or even Brilliant Blue, especially combined with the Brushed Copper card stock or the copper designer papers.
thanks for all the responses...i never thought to cover them up!...i think i'll try using them before i do that or send them off to stamps&cars...haha i'll have to try something tonight and post it. ok thanks again!

ok everyone here's my first attempt...i must say i really am liking the copper with the greens!!....never thought i would but sometimes i need to think outside my little box!.....thanks for the inspiration...
Just dab your copper hardware with a VersaMark pad, dunk it in your favorite color embossing powder and melt the EP. Don't like copper? No problemo- just make it the color you want!!!

See, now copper and silver/pewter easy for me. Gold/brass is much harder.
Why is that????? :confused:

i'm not sure why that is julie....i do find that shiny gold is hard for me to find uses for....i'm just not that into it...even in jewelery not a big fan of the gold....try the antiqued gold...it fits much better for me...looks good with browns/earthy stuff....
