I keep reaching for the coordinating products in the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender suite (one of My Favorite Things in the Spring mini catalog). The watercolor patterns of the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper are stunning and delightful for spring. Today’s simple “kindness” card highlights one of my favorite sentiments from the Perennial Lavender stamp set . . . You mean the world to me!
WHAT I LOVE! I added a touch of tone on tone bling with five of the coordinating Purple Shimmer Gems (Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Berry Burst). I love that they are adhesive backed for quick placement.
NEED COLOR INSPIRATION? The color combination for today’s card uses one of the 5 Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper Color Combinations that I shared on Tuesday! You can see my Color Combination library here.
