If you’re a fan of Folk Art patterns, you’re going to love the combination of the In Symmetry Bundle and coordinating Sweet Symmetry Designer Paper by Stampin’ Up! The bold patterns are done in bright, fun colors and work together so beautifully!
To me, the In Symmetry Bundle looked a bit nordic, so I looked up what the folk image would look like. According to Google, Scandinavian design style originated in the 5 Nordic countries such as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. Because the Nordic people enjoy nature activities, the dark winter in Nordic country are very long. This makes the Nordic people spent much of their time indoors. So, to make them closer to the nature, they bring nature into their house. These floral images certainly accomplish that!
For this card, I decided to go with a color combination from the Sweet Symmetry Designer Paper, using Calypso Coral, Just Jade and Bumblee. It’s such a fun color combination and perfect for the Folk Art images. Here’s the color palette:
