Diagonal Red, White, and Blue on Light Orange

In real life, my card's colors look good together, but unfortunately, I couldn't adjust my image to show that.  I like the two strips of patterned paper on the dark blue panel.  Diagonal placement adds movement to the simple layout. 

Card details:

  • Card stock is Paper Source papaya (light orange), and Papertrey Ink (PTI) enchanted evening (dark blue). 
  • Patterned paper is from Bo Bunny firecracker 6 x 6" pad (retired).
  • The sentiment "thank you" is from PTI keep it simple: thank you II (retired), stamped with PTI blueberry sky (medium blue) ink, which looks more greenish on the light orange cardstock, coordinating in real life with the patterned paper's turquoise.

  • Patterned paper is PTI royal velvet (deep purple) pattern pack (tone-on-tone prints - retired) and PTI pencil me in A2 paper collection (lined linen-texture paper - retired).
  • Embossing folder is The Paper Studio script (retired).
  • The sentiment "thanks for all you do" is from Winnie & Walter in a word: thanks (retired), stamped with PTI amethyst allure (medium purple) and royal velvet (deep purple) inks.
