more color mondays – pretty peacock, calypso coral, petunia pop waterfall card
Welcome back to another edition of More Color Mondays – this one was inspired from the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper – which I have been playing with a bunch – I just can’t seem to get enough of it!
This color challenge was an interesting one – I really like the color combination but would never have thought of putting these three colors together but drawing from the DSP it is easy to tie colors together.
Today’s card is a Waterfall Fold card and super fun and easy. To make the most out of my 6″ x 6″ DSP I changed the dimensions of my original template and used an extra layer so that the dsp is only a 3″ x 3″ square therefore getting two of these cards out of one sheet of Designer Series Paper! Grab Pretty Peacock, Calypso Coral and Petunia Pop and let’s start crafting!
