Sometimes the simplicity of stamping is all you need for a Mother’s Day card. Today’s card highlights oodles of tone on tone stamping as well as these new “core” and “in” colors to the Stampin’ Up! line up: Bubble Bath, Moody Mauve, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Pebbled Path, and Lemon Lolly. Want to learn more about the new colors? Check out my previous post here.
WHAT I LOVE ! Perfect color pairings. Stampin’ Up! has incorporated new colors that pair beautifully with each other as well as existing colors. These “marriages” were made in heaven: Bubble Bath & Moody Mauve, Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock, Lemon Lolly & Crushed Curry.
NEED SKETCH INSPIRATION? The layout of today’s thank you card was inspired by the newest addition to my Stampin’ Pretty Sketchbook, Sketch #65, which I shared on Tuesday!
