Color Coordinates Recipe!
Hello everyone!!! Happy Friday and welcome back to the blog. I have a Color Coordinates Recipe for you today featuring some of our newer ink colors from our Splash of Color and Color of Fun releases.
I’ve combined Apricot, Mint Candy, Duckling, Lake Shores, and Steel blue all together to create a soft palette great for any occasion.
For my card, I colored strips of card stock with my inks then die cut them using “Thanks” from the Summer Greetings word dies. I can’t say thanks enough!
To finish things up, I added some enamel shaped arrowheads and dots.
I couldn’t leave out all the left over letters, so I created a simple card using them in a row.
I’ve shot a video of the complete process, you can view it below or on our YouTube channel.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Great cards, I love the color combo and the design of these cards. Awesome.
In keeping with the theme of this card “thanks” for giving us this video!
Totally awesome Shari!! I love you combine all of these colors. Thats the hardest part for me, figuring out what colors match.
These little dies look like fun!
Your cards are so soft, crisp and clean. I love SSS 120# white cardstock. It is quality paper for cards and it is very smooth. The colors you put together here are gorgeous. I want, I want, I want! I really like that “thanks” die too. I haven’t seen that before.
So very pretty, these colors go great together!
Two fantastic cards!
Nice colors!
Love the colors. they are so soft and pastel. Makes me feel warm.
thanks.
simple, fresh looking cards!
simple and amazingly cool
The most difficult time I have in creating cards/projects is figuring out color combination. This video is so helpful! Love your cards and really like the color combination.
Like the colors and the block letter die sentiments.

Awesome card! I love that you went really soft on the color. I think sometimes we want to pick really bold colors… but soft colors are good too, right? TFS!

Very cool- I need to use the negative space more often. :)
