Just Believe in Poppy Parade

Colour Coach from Stampin' Up!

Colour is not necessarily my forte. When I go shopping for fabric for a quilt or pull together colours for a card or scrapbook layout, I often bring my mother-in-law (graphic designer) to the fabric store, or present my hubby (art degree) with a handful of different colours of cardstock to figure out which one is “just right”.

That being said, I was very excited when Stampin’ Up! released the new colour coach (item 121620). It’s fantastic, if you don’t have one go get it now!

I participated in Judith’s in-colour swap and Poppy Parade was one of my colours. I love this vibrant colour, but wasn’t sure what to pair with it, so instead of running upstairs with all the colours of the Stampin’ Up! rainbow, I used my colour coach. I’m so pleased with the results! Here is another card using the Just Believe stamp set in Poppy Parade, So Saffron and Baja Breeze. (I wasn’t joking when I warned you that you’d be seeing lots of Just Believe samples. You can see past samples here and here.)
