For this card, I used the new In Color, Peach Pie. Color Coordination is a snap as I combined Shaded Spruce with our vibrant Peach Pie In Color products, including the shimmering Glimmer Paper, the chic Designer Series Paper, and the Peach Pie Shimmer Gems for that final touch of sparkle and shimmer! All together, they create a cohesive and stunning look.
