Fave color combos using Copper?
 
I'm caught up in the current Copper frenzy but now I'm stumped for colors to use. What are your favorite colors to use with Copper?

Thanks!

Do you mean copper? I don't know that SU has anything called bronze.

I LOVE the copper stuff! You can search the gallery for samples with copper on them.

Brocade blue is really nice with it.

Yes...I meant copper! I don't even know what I'm talking about, LOL!! Made my edits.

Thanks!

I liked it with brocade blue. But LOVED it with old olive :D

I love it with Baroque Burgundy!

I like it with most of the Earth Elements, and it's also very pretty with pink!

I saw a beautiful card using copper and forest foliage!

ballet blue & white
 
I love ballet blue & white with the copper, but that might just be because those are the colors in my kitchen. :D

Taken with Teal or Tempting Turquoise...These two colors are very close to the top of my list but I tend to hoard them....

What are your favorite colors using copper
 
I love earth elements with copper, blues with copper and a pink/rose/burgundy combo with it, too!

Think of color combinations that look complimentary on a redhead! They work beautifully with copper.

I've made several cards with copper, and I'm totally in love with all the copper products. Here are some of the colors I've used with the copper paper, copper EP, and/or copper cord:

Basic Black
Forest Foliage
Baroque Burgundy
Night of Navy
Taken with Teal
Perfect Plum
Eggplant Envy

I love the polished stone technique with copper reinker for the mettalic ink - sooooo cool!

That made me chuckle, I am a redhead (well, at least for the past 19 years anyway) and I think copper looks great with mellow moss! It just so happens that one of my favorite colors to wear is that cellery- ish color.

Wow, 19 years. I feel old. There must be a mistake, I must have been 4 when I started coloring it!!!

mhthorpe 09-18-2004 07:43 PM

Yeah!!!!
I love Mellow moss with copper, too! My best friend for 49 years (that's 30 MORE than 19!) is a redhead. Beautiful red hair! Her son recently married and she wore Mellow Moss (no, not the cardstock but the color!) to the wedding. Now I may know the subliminal inspiration!

I have a couple cards in my Gallery that use copper paper with Turquoise, Rust and Gable Green ink and paper.

Oooo, it's another neutral color- It's my little black dress of paper- It goes with anything! Love it!

Basic Black and Close to Coral.

Use Copper EP on Really Rust, then bleach out the image. You get a nice golden color. Looks fantastic! 8)
This is one of the cards I did like this:

Your card is absolutely drop dead GORGEOUS, Happy Heart!!!

I also chuckled with the redheaded comment. My 19 year old daughter and 17 year old son are redheads. Wonder if they would mind if I put cardstock up to them.... :D This has been a very helpful topic as I have been staring at my new copper items and drawing a blank.

I love copper with Not Quite Navy & Old Olive :D

Ditto on these colors with copper! I love the combo!

I also like NQ Navy ...

MichelleGoodrich 07-26-2005 07:27 AM

Fave color combos using Copper?
 
Not quite navy
Forest Foliage (the new hunter isn't bad either!)
Black (goes with almost everything, right!)

I have so much copper EP I don't think I'll EVER use it all! Sigh.. isn't that a sad problem! :-)

I'm digging the copper also. Bought some thin metal at Hobby Lobby and dry embossed the pumpkin image onto it (from the SU Festive Four) set. Cut around the metal and matted it with eggplant cs, orange mulberry, orange cs and then put that on a black card. Used some matching fibers. The color combos were great together and I'm one Halloween card ahead. Copper goes well with all those wonderful Fall type colors.
