Today, I’m thrilled to share a perfect solution for busy women who want to infuse a bit of creativity into their hectic schedules. This card uses Card Sketch 20, which is showcased in our 2024-2025 Annual Catalog on page 22. (View our digital catalog here.)
To make this Thank You card even easier to create, I used the Beautiful Mixed Florals Designer Series Paper and pulled the colors for my card from the paper. This created a clean and vivid color combination of Daffodil Delight, Boho Blue, and Mossy Meadow. If you’d like a softer color combination, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library, where you’re sure to find a color palette you’ll love!
