The colours on this card compares the new Primrose Petals with three other current Stampin' Up! colours. The colours, from top left going clockwise, are Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Rose Red and Primrose Petals (bottom left). Primrose Petals is warmer (less blue) than Rose Red and Rich Razzleberry, and is dustier and less saturated then Melon Mambo.

This card also has some new products from the Annual Catalogue...

• The very pretty Betsy's Blossoms stamp set (page 72). This stamp set is part of a suite of co-ordinating products - a Stampin' Around Wheel called Betsy's Blooms (also on page 72), Floral District DSP (page 163) and designer fabric (page 171).
• Bitty Banners Framelits (page 191). Three little wafer-thin dies for easily cutting cute banners for your projects.

I took inspiration from the front cover of the new Annual Catalogue and dressed up a gift box of soaps using Primrose Petals and the Blossom Petals Builder Punch...

Card/Paper: Primrose Petals (127544), Pink Pirouette (116203), Pink Pirouette DSP (Subtles Collection DSP Stack: 117152), Gumball Green (127543). Ink: Primrose Petals (126858). Accessories: Crystal Effects (101055), Tools: Blossom Petals Builder Punch (121808), 1/2" Circle Punch (119869), 1" Square Punch (124094), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Stamping Sponges (101610), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

I checked out the new In Color cards for the Color Coach (page 151) and discovered that the Dynamic Duo for Primrose Petals is Pink Pirouette. A Dynamic Duo is the light and dark shades of the same colour. So I use Pink Pirouette DSP for the ends of the bow and the centre of the flower.
