my project colors! soft & serene with cloud cover!
WHAT I LOVE! This clean and simple card highlights the stunning Stampin’ Up! Coneflower Celebrations Bundle—perfect for sending a little sunshine and celebration! I colored the coneflower with Stampin’ Blends in Cloud Cover, Soft Sea Foam, and Petal Pink, adding Secret Sea for a soft, moody depth to the petals. The delicate layers of cardstock in coordinating colors add a fresh, spring-inspired frame. A few iridescent pearls and a sweet bow of white baker’s twine complete this elegant, handcrafted look!
Check out the 25 color combinations I shared using the new 2025-2027 In Colors on my blog post here.
