Pairing Cheerful Chirps and Poppy ColorWheel Cardstock
Joan Bardee here sharing some colorful cards using the Cheerful Chirps Collection. Cheerful Chirps is all about fun and quirky birds and sayings that lift the spirit. As soon as I saw those birds, I thought of using Poppy ColorWheel Cardstock. Poppy is one of my favorite colors. It’s a warm shade of red and evokes happy, perfect for cheerful birds, as well as love-themed and Christmas cards. I buy it and run out of it all the time! SENDING CHEERFUL CHIRPS Who can look at this parrot and not smile? Selected Cosmic Sky (darker bright blue), Poppy (red), and Carrot (orange) as the main color palette, with accents of…

For this card, my plan was to use: 1.…
