I'm playing with one of the latest challenges in the Dirty Dozen forum (WORD0714), and it's a fun alphabet challenge. For my letters, I used:
C - copper
A - autumn
S - sponging
E - embossing powder
I had first thought to use apple for the A, and went looking thru the galleries for apples. Didn't have much luck til I ran across the September 2006 gallery and saw this gorgeous card from jsbrooketrout:
Autumn popped into my head, and she had embossed her leaves, so there was my E!!! She sponged the colors over her embossed leaves, so there was my S, yippee! But I was stuck on chipboard for my C, and it just wasn't working. So I scrolled through some more galleries and came across the October 2007 gallery where there were tons of cards with copper on them. Yup - it clicked - copper is my C!!!
So I changed a few things from my inspiration card to accomodate the addition of the copper. Also, I don't sew so I left that off my card. :-) Thanks for a great challenge, Lydia!!
