I've got to talk to y'all about color. One of the things that is the most fun is to choose and coordinate colors in a project. I designed this card using a card sketch. The first thing I chose was the pretty designer series paper called Garden Impressions. I love the fact that I have coordinating inks and cardstocks. It looks better when you are using night of navy ink and night of navy cardstock as opposed to two random blues. Plus, when I thought about it this morning, it's just plain FUN. I looked at the colors used in the paper (Night of Navy, Mango Melody, Shaded Spruce, Soft Sea Foam and So Saffron) which are listed in the catalog and on the packaging. It made the selection process simple and fun.
I begin by thinking of the cardstock colors I wanted to use, Night of Navy and So Saffron, then thought of what colors I'd like to use for the flowers and stems. So Saffron as the base color for the flowers and Mango Melody for the darker highlights. Soft Sea Foam for the stems and Shaded Spruce for the darker highlights. Then I began thinking of what to put in the circle part of the sketch. I could have stamped a flower and cut it out with a circle framelit, or I could use the flower thinlit that coordinates with this set. As you can see I chose the thinlit and accented it with pearls.
