There’s so much to love about this card! Both the Hello, Irresistible paper and the Loose Frosted Dots are part of the new Online Exclusive products – and I chose 2 of the colors, Mint Macaron and Lost Lagoon, straight from that paper! (note: Lost Lagoon is a returning In Color that is a sneak peek of the 2023 Color Refresh coming soon!) If you’d like to use a different color combination, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library, where you’ll find plenty of inspiration!
