Default Colors that go with Copper

What color combos do you like with copper embossing powder and cord? I love rose romance and close to cocoa but I need some new ideas.

Thanks, Julia

I love garden green or sage shadow with the copper paper. I have made two cards with those color combinations and I liked them both! I will have to try the above ideas though, I was getting stuck on the greens.

Don't know about the EP but the brushed copper cardstock looked surprisingly good on amythest paper. I used it to frame a picture on an amythyst page stamped with lavendar lace in a scrapbook.

when copper oxidizes it turns a rich green. Garden green would be nice. I would also try old olive. I think the copper will go w/ most of the blues in RR I think not quite navy would be lovely. Lots of the EE colors as accents especially the browns. I also like the confetti cream and vanilla as neutrals. maybe confetti tan I'd have to try that out. good luck let us know what looks good.

I love Copper, especially with Baroque burgundy. I'm sure it will be just as nice with Bravo burgundy, too.

I've found that it looks really nice with Forest Foliage and Very Vanilla. I'm hoping that it looks as good with Handsome Hunter when it's available - I'm fairly certain that it will, but will just have to wait for the new catty to see.

I've tried copper with Orchid Opulence on More Mustard. It is one of my favorite color combinations.

I assume your talking about copper paper. I have attached an invitation I made for my daughter's wedding using copper paper. The burgandy ribbon really set it off. The printing inside was an olive color. Hope it gives you some color ideas.

We made 250 of them and had a real crew working on them including her MIL and DH and several friends.

My 2 other children only had 150 that I had to make.
