I made this card specifically for a good friend who loves to read, and since her favorite colors are soft purples and blues, I went with the color combination of Fresh Freesia, Pool Party, and then I threw in Mossy Meadow for the books to give them an “aged” look. If you’d prefer something brighter, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library, which is sure to give you some different ideas for your color palette.
Dive into a world of color as these stamps are compatible with all our coloring tools, allowing you to splash vibrant life into each creation. Finish off with your favorite heartfelt sentiments and watch your projects soar. Don’t wait—invite these feathered friends into your craft collection today!
