Colorful friendship card with rainbow wheel and "You're a pop of color" text. Surrounded by crafting tools on a textured surface.

Hello Lovelies! I have a soft spot in my crafty heart for colorwheels and charts, so the Simon Says Stamp Pop of Color stamps and dies have my full attention. It was hard to cut it in two after coloring each section with a total of 12 alcohol-based markers, but it allow them to bracket and emphasize the sweet sentiment.

When I have such a vibrant and large block of color on the front of a card, I generally will avoid anything that competes with it. I go for complimentary and textured elements that allow the eyes to settle on the focal point and do not distract from the message.

Who's day are you going to brighten with this card and tag pair?
