Concord & 9th Feature Friday: Favorite Color Combos

10 Jul

If you’re looking for my mystery box and ink destash sale please scroll down or click here!

Good morning!  Have you recovered from the excitement of the Concord & 9th Color Collection release yesterday?!?  Well hold onto your cardstock because we’re sharing even more inspiration using the fabulous new inks and cardstocks every Friday all month long!! 🙂 Today we’re focusing on our favorite color combos and I had so much fun with the combo from yesterday that I kept going and made another trio of cards! 🙂

Color Collection Release by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Concord and 9th

I love shades of coral and teal with a dark navy blue and the colors in Concord & 9th’s collection are the perfect shades for me!  To start I used a paper trimmer to cut strips of varying width from cardstock in Grapefruit, Sorbet, Aqua Sky, Oceanside, and Midnight.  Then I took an 8.5×11″ piece of white cardstock and added adhesive across the whole page.  I randomly adhered the strips mixing different up the orders and widths until they covered the entire panel.

Next I cut the panel down into a variety of sizes to adhere to top-folding card bases.  I also die-cut a leftover piece of panel with the Hexagon Label die.  Then I die-cut sentiments from Forever Flower and Hexagon Label dies using white cardstock.  To finish the card I simply adhered the sentiments to the panels.  I’m hoping to make more cards like these using different palettes because they’re quite fun to create and also super quick and easy!  I think these three cards (and I have leftover panel pieces to make more cards) took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish!

Thanks so much for visiting and have a fantastic weekend!
