Papertrey Favorites

Second post today. Click HERE for Reverse Confetti's Countdown to Confetti.

This month, Papertrey celebrates its 9th anniversary. That's a lot of years of well-deserved success and industry-wide inspiration. Congratulations to all who have been part of that legacy!

I hope you'll join us for the anniversary festivities. Visit Nichole's blog each day for the next 10 days as we count down to the Anniversary Release. There are contests, prizes, announcements, and new product introductions. Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride!

I joined the Papertrey team exactly a year ago during the 8th anniversary release. It has been quite an adventure! I'm so blessed to do what I love, to do it with such fantastic products, and to do it alongside such amazing, creative, and generous teammates. 

For today, each of us was asked to pick out a favorite card from the past year that uses a favorite color combination. I've long been drawn to soft color palettes, my happy colors are any variation of blues and greens, and I'm mildly obsessed with all things gray, so my choice was easy:



INK: Smokey Shadow, Stormy Sea, Tropical Teal, Aqua Mist, Mint Julep, True Black
PAPER: white, Soft Stone, and Mint Julep card stock
OTHER: True Black baker's twine, sewing machine


Here's my new card based on that same color scheme: Aqua Mist, Mint Julep, Tropical Teal, Stormy Sea and Smokey Shadow.


This card features so many of my favorite things: the colors (of course), the soft watercolor wash background (I used Aqua Mist and Mint Julep re-inkers), ink splattering, a clustered design, layers, the word die-cut, vellum, and machine stitching, And True Black baker's twine. I need a subscription plan for that stuff!



INK: Smokey Shadow, Stormy Sea, Tropical Teal, Aqua Mist, Mint Julep, True Black
PAPER: white, Soft Stone, and Mint Julep card stock

Now it's your turn -- play along with today's color inspiration challenge for a chance to win your Papertrey wish list! All of the designers' color recipe swatches are available for download on Nichole's blog. Choose any of them!



I can't wait to see all the beautiful challenge entries!

Thanks for visiting today!
