Color Coordinates Recipe!

Colorcoordinatestake2-600x74

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.

  1. Wonderful color receipe! I like how you staggered the sentiments and wove them into the threads. And an added bonus to use the negatives to make another card! TFS your work with us today!

  2. Amazing! I love the soft colors and how they still seem so very bright against each other and the whiteness (and CASness) of the rest of the card :) I’m also loving the fact that you made two cards instead of one and throwing away the letters… It’s efficiet and pretty! Very inspiring :)

  3. Very pretty colors. I also like the enamel embellishments. The colors are so
    soft and work well together~nice card.

  4. It’s great to see how repeating a pattern creates wonderful cards. Thanks for the ideas for design and colour. :)

  5. Shari, I love the idea of being able to take white paper and turn them in to your favorite ink colors. I’m always putting little extra pieces into envelopes, great idea on using them up, no more envelopes, lol. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

  6. Such pretty colors–your blending is so nice! I really like the simplicity of your card design. The silver embroidery thread is lovely. Your second card is wonderful!
