Icy Blue, Pale Pink and Snow White
They may not be traditional holiday colors, but the frosted pastels in the Holly Jolly paper collection have inspired me to put together a snow themed card with Candy Apple accents. This card has a lot going for it with color, texture, pattern and shine. Even so, I decided to really go all out and add an interactive shaker element. I can’t wait to show you how easy it is to put this impressive card together!
