Color Coordinates: Bold and Beautiful!

Welcome everyone to another edition of my Color Coordinates series. I’m starting to look at bolder colors as we start to inch into fall. One-color I like to introduce into my fall line up is Purple! I’ve paired Simon Says Stamp Deep Purple and Hydrangea with some blue and green tones of Deep Sea, Evergreen, and Willow

This is a card for my son, I think it’s manly, bold. and well… beautiful! I’ve used a repeating stamp image HBD from the Cathy Zielski Stop Drop Party stamp set for a clean and simple look while showing off a range of colors. 

Each image was stamped twice for maximum boldness, using a Misti to keep the stamp in place. I just love our inks for their quality of softening into the paper leaving a creamy but crisp finish.

  1. Like the color combo for this card and does look masculine enough. Great bold lettering and very precise and neat.

  2. This is a great colour palette! I always find myself gravitating towards the same colour schemes and you’ve inspired me to try a few new to me ones this weekend. Thanks!

  3. These strong bold colors are beautiful together and I’m sure your son will love this, purple and all! :) I love this color coordinates feature! Thank you!

  4. Great color combo. I love green/blue combos and the addition of purple is nice. I rarely think igmf purple…not sure why after seeing this.

  5. Love this new color combo- I’m thinking could use on masculine cards. I’m just finishing watching your FB live on Stamptember, looking forward to it.

  6. Great card – and perfect for the guys in our lives! I am totally “borrowing” this idea for my brother’s birthday in September!

  7. Wonderful masculine card (I struggle with masculine cards). This set of Color Coordinates is beautiful.

  8. I hesitated a bit at first, but, as always, you pulled off a winner! Love the richness of these colors together!

  9. Fantastic colour combo, love the card too! I’ll need to print these for myself one day for inspiration, so helpful when one is creatively stuck! Good for venturing out of our comfort zone, too!
