Today’s card challenge is a color challenge. When picking colors, I tend to gravitate toward the Brights Collection. For this card, I tried to use more colors from the Subtles Collection.

While I made a few substitutions for a couple of In Colors (Lemon Lime Twist and Sweet Sugarplum), I kept my card on the pastel side. I ended up pulling out the new-to-me set Thought Banners and created my own banner birthday card for a friend. I love how versatile the message can be with this set. There are so many word options! After adding a little punched banner using the coordinate Duet Banner Punch, my card still felt like it was missing something. So I added a cute coordinating ice cream cone to finish it off!
