Color Coordinates With Shari Carroll
Are you ready for a fresh Spring Color Coordinates? I’ve come up with a new combination of soft pastel colors just for you!
This Color Coordinates Recipe goes perfectly with the Wide Stripes cling stamp to create some fun backgrounds. I’ve created two backgrounds; one plaid and one simple stripes. By turning the paper in the Misti and stamping again, it’s easy to create a quick plaid.
Rather than just inking the stamp, I’ve used swiping motions to get a unique texture on both the background and the Artful Flowers. To finish off both of my cards, I’ve used the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips 2.
If you are interested in printing out the Color Coordinates and creating a swatch book, I have the downloadable templates available below.

Hi Shari and yes I am so ready for Spring! Even if it means allergy season… these new colors are so wonderful. Love the softness. Happy Spring to you also.

As always you inspire! I love these colors and both cards are beautiful. I plan to try my version of the striped card this afternoon. Thanks so much!
Those colour combinations are sooo pretty! I love how you did the pattern plaid with that background stamp. The look is amazing. Thanks for all the colour combinations! I think colour choice is what makes the most difference on a card of whether I like it or not. But I am not very good at coming up with great colour combo’s. So I always enjoy yours.
