Hello!! Back with a pretty floral card that features some of the new In Colors. Flowers are my favorite. I enjoy gardening and blooming things. There is so much inspiration in nature and color combos is one of those things that we can take inspiration from. The brand new Floral Impressions Suite is perfect for flower-lovers.
Today's card uses Floral Impressions designer series paper as my starting point. Here are the colors listed that this paper coordinates with: Crushed Curry, Darling Duckling, Fresh Freesia, Garden Green, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Pecan Pie, Pool Party, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry Slush.
Which color would you pick to use first? My goal was to use all five In Colors. I started with Timid Tiger. The piece of DSP has all the colors so it didn't matter how it was cut, it would look good. My flowers were chosen from the list of coordinating colors, too. Timid Tiger, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, and Strawberry Slush on these cards. Which is your favorite?
I matted the DSP on Garden Green. The oval is one of the dies in the Impressions Abloom Dies. There are two so you could layer them, too! On a whim, I added the ribbon tied in bows and the In Color pearls. The 'thank you' is from My Small Business stamp set and is stamped in Pecan Pie.
Here's the link for the VIDEO that shows how to make this card.
