Here's my take on our color matches:
-Aquamarine: Glacier
-Scuba Blue: Lagoon
-Lucite Green: Juniper
-Classic Blue: Pacifica
-Toasted Almond: Champagne
-Strawberry Ice: Cotton Candy
-Tangerine: Sunset
-Custard: Canary
-Marsala: Barn Red
-Glacier Gray: Whisper
Pretty nice, huh? Here are the cards that I made. This card is using Barn Red Cardstock as the base, with the Diamond Embossing Folder from the Seasonal Expressions guide. I used some Whisper, Slate and Canary as my coordinating colors. I also added some striped banners from the All the Details set.
Switching the colors up, this time I used Glacier, Outdoor Denim, Champagne, and a touch of Cashmere. I stamped a background with Flight of the Arrows and used a sentiment from Your Own Kind of Wonderful too.
Then I realized that one of the prints in the Pathfinding paper packet had design with a strong Barn Red background. Perfect! I even added the tiny heart from You're the Bomb, the Operation Smile set shown on the back of the Seasonal Expressions.
I love the hostess set, Better with a Friend -- and I thought this lady would go perfect with the XOXO sentiment. I used the Barn Red print from the Enchantment Paper Fundamentals with some Lagoon, Flaxen, and a touch of Glacier and Champagne and had a whole lot of fun paper piecing. How cute is this?
I also played around with another hostess set, A Thing Well Done -- and I felt it would go great with the Be Amazing sentiment. I used the newsprint design from the Heartstrings paper packet, with the colors Cotton Candy and Whisper.
I've always liked the Barn Red color, but now I have an entirely new appreciation for it. :-) The January Stamp of the Month set, This Moment, is only available this month. Make sure to order yours today!
