Color Coordinates: Spring Rain

Shari Carroll, Color Coordinates

Hello everyone!! Welcome to the blog and Happy Friday!!  I have a super fun technique and color combination for you that I think you will like. I am inspired by thought of Spring after all the snow we’ve gotten lately here in the Mid-West.

I used blues, greens and a hint of purple for this combo, which remind me of rain and ocean breezes. I’ve also figured out that Simon brand inks can be used to custom color tissue paper. What??  This opens up a lot of possibilities for me!!

I am so thrilled that this worked and I can’t wait to try it in all sorts of colors. Todays Color Coordinate ink colors look nice when they are overlapped with each other especially using the tissue paper. The in between colors blend nicely.

I’ve filmed a video of the complete process which you can view below or on our Youtube channel HERE.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this technique and collection of colors. Enjoy!!

  1. Whata beautiful color combination for the card. I really like the idea of using inked tissue paper. Thanks for sharing!

  2. What wonderful colours. We are still having snowy cold days so I am wanting spring to come quickly. This card makes me think that it will be here soon (I hope).

  3. Love how the colors blend together
    when over-lapped. Not a fancy card,
    just right.

  4. This looks like such a fun technique with the tissue paper and inks. The color palette is beautiful. Thanks Shari!

  5. What a great technique! I always get my tissue paper at the dollar store and rarely do they have the color that I need/want. But I have plenty of white tissue paper, so I can’t wait to try this. Thank you so very much! And I too am looking forward to Spring, “snow” being a four letter word in my vocabulary! ☺

  6. Wow! What a terrific technique I can’t wait to try for myself. Made a beautiful, unique background for your lovey card. Thanks for sharing your inspiration.

  7. I love this card! Just reminds us that spring WILL come but this could be used for any occasion simply by changing the colors and embellishments. Thank you!

  8. I like everything about this card. Such a smart idea to color the tissue paper. I will be looking into the gel you used for cards and for my tissue flowers. Tacky glue leaves a noticeable glue mark on tissue.
