Continuing with an overview of the new 2017-2019 In Colors, I want to introduce you to our fifth and last colour, the soothing Tranquil Tide...

Tranquil Tide is an ocean-green that, depending on what colour combinations you put it with, can look more blue or more green. Compared to Emerald Envy, which has the same intense saturation, Tranquil Tide shows it's blue tones. But when put beside Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo, this cool colour shows it's true deep-green hue.

Do you love the wooden elements on the front of this card... the little daisy at the bottom and the leaves on the right side of the card? These are the Touches of Nature Elements, which are nature-inspired wood cuts showing the natural wood-colour on one side and a light whitewash on the other. The whitewash finish is what is showing here...

It's a Concertina Card and this special card was created for my sister's 40th birthday. Here's how it opens, showing off that gorgeous designer paper I used on the inside...

The paper I used for this card is what inspired the colours and style. It's one of the lovely watercoloured pages from the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.
