Welcome to our May Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are featuring our new 2023-2025 "In Colors" Collection!
Okay, I have a confession to make... When I first saw our five new “In Colors” I wasn't very excited about them. They're very "earthy", and I usually like brighter colours. When I saw a "real" (not digital) catalogue, I liked the colours a little better. But when I saw our gorgeous Earthen Elegance 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP), which had three of the new colours, I realized they are actually quite nice!

I used four of the five In Colors in this card--Boho Blue, Moody Mauve, Copper Clay (in the DSP), and Wild Wheat. I also used our new Darling Details bundle. I love the beautiful Distinktive™ stamps, which give a range of colour depth when stamped once, and the amazing dies (which include two frames and a border die)--see a photo of the bundle below!
