My card for this week's IC challenge was inspired by the Botanical Metal Wall Art from the Acacia catalog.
I used four different Cuttlebug Embossing Folders on four different shades of blue and green DPs. Then I sponged multiple colors of ink to try to achieve the depth of color in the tiles. I finished by using my finger to apply copper metallic rub-on finish.
The center is stamped in Ice Jade on a light yellow cardstock and then sponged with more ink colors and mounted on metallic copper cardstock. Each tile is attached with pop-dots to mimic the dimension in the inspiration piece. The finished card is 4 1/4" square.

Okay, now I can't think of anything to make; all I can think of is your amazing card. I never in a million years would have thought to use the CB images this way. Gorgeous! See how I cleverly blame my creative block on you :-)
