Bright Colors - Impressions Abloom

Ending the week on a bright note!

Here’s my final card showcasing the Impressions Abloom bundle—and I might’ve saved the boldest for last! I used Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush for the flowers, accented with Granny Apple Green card stock layered against the Coastal Cabana card stock to create a vibrant, happy color combo that just feels like appreciation in card form.

Perfect for letting someone know, “I appreciate you.” Because a little color and kindness goes a long way!
