Beautiful image and those cards are so gorgeous. Hopefully this weekend my colour palette will be green and red as I get Christmasy!

Laura said...

Green, definitely green. The green of a suffal coat or cut grass or of fresh salad or the Christmas tree I'm waiting to get.

your pastels soundsweet and yes I agree they are vey feminine. I'm still loving teal and mustard colours - they make me think retro.

I am usually a pink girl but as Christmas is nearly on my door I am thinking red, red and some more red. Thank you for stopping by French Essence - lovely to have found your blog. xv

I love pastels as well.The cards are gorgeous.Getting back to the pastels,I seem to like them year round.Except for the winter season now I do like ones with a touch of glitter or bling as they say.Sometimes a soft green with glitter brings out blue eyes they say.Mine are blue.
