I definitely have my favorite colors and color combinations, and lately I’ve been trying to stretch myself a bit. Combining Summer Splash and Gorgeous Grape is absolutely a stretch, but I think it works! Please say you agree 😉

• Stamps: With You in Mind
• Color Palette: Basic White, Summer Splash, Gorgeous Grape
• Accessories: 24-26 In Color DSP, 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Gorgeous Grape is NOT a color I reach for. It has to be very intentional, and in this case, I really didn’t think these two would work. I was actually kind of pleased at how well they came together!

If you haven’t explored With You in Mind, I recommend it. The sentiments are big and bold with a modern font, and I love the script/block font combination. The small leaf is from the same stamp set, making this a great choice for on-the-go crafting.

The Slice & Slide format creates an interesting shape when you open your card, and leaves a little space for a clever reveal at the bottom as well.

The Paper Family packs are a great option for this layout as you have 4 different patterns and a variety of colors to work with. Let me know if you’ve taken the Slice & Slide plunge!
