Today's project is an "outside-the-box" example of how you can use unexpected colors with a themed stamp set and/or paper to create something truly unique!

In this card, the spotlight is on the Autumn Expressions Bundle paired with the gorgeous Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper. However, what sets this project apart is the color palette—one that's not typically associated with autumn-themed cards.

We’ve used Fresh Freesia and Azure Afternoon, two shades included in some of the scenic designs in this paper collection. These lighter, brighter colors give this handmade card a light and airy feel.  Fall doesn't always  have to be about deep oranges and browns. 

This combination is a true testament to the versatility of these stamps, dies, and papers. You can truly make them your own, whether you’re crafting a traditional card or trying something a little different. This project is perfect for someone looking to add a fresh twist to their autumn crafting.
