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.
If you are interested in printing out the Color Coordinates and creating a swatch book, I have the downloadable templates available below.
