A splashy array of colors from Stampin’ Up! Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper is key to what makes this card “happy!” The patterns “dance” so well together!.
WHAT I LOVE ! I love mixing patterns and Stampin’ Up! makes it easy with their collections (like Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper). The stripe is especially vibrant against the softer palette of pinks.
NEED SKETCH INSPIRATION? The layout of today’s thank you card was inspired by the newest addition to my Stampin’ Pretty Sketchbook, Sketch #67, which I shared on Tuesday!
