Obsessed with these colors! Part of a blog hop for Simon Says Stamp!

Welcome to a blog hop to celebrate Simon Says Stamp’s Hello Gorgeous release! Today I’m sharing a card featuring a color palette I’m officially obsessed with:

I recently used this palette for a live video on my YouTube channel (along with the same cling stamps!) and wanted to use it for today’s blog hop card.

Here is the video showing you how I created this card:

    Love the colors that you used because it reminds me of the beach. I also like big type words and sentiments because they become the focal point of a card.

    I love to try to color flowers but I agree there are times when you don’t have time or you just don’t want to. That’s when these big sentiments (which are awesome BTW) are so perfect. Thanks for keeping us supplied.
