Trying a Fresh Color Palette in a Playing Card–Inspired Stamped Card + Blog Hop!
Do you ever find it a struggle to get back into a groove after holiday crafting? I was so inspired over the past few months by the rich holiday colors that I wasn’t sure what to use when it came time to create after the Christmas season. The new Pawsitively Saturated yellow inks from Simon Says Stamp’s Heart to Heart collection were a perfect jumping off point for my project. I chose Flax and then added in Rhubarb, Shell, Lilac, and Dublin for a super-fresh palette that really inspired me!
The card also features the new Heart Suite stamp and die set—I LOVE the playing card theme! You can use this set to make either romantic or generic cards, which I always find versatile in a set—something that gives you variety.
