colour combos

I was playing around trying to get a feel of the new colours and how they might work together. This card uses the Great Friend Stamp set is using the new colours daffodil delight and cherry cobbler. The leaves are in old olive ink. I think this is a great summery, cheery combo. The cherry cobbler is particularly striking and rich. I think it will be super for Christmas cards.
This card gave me fits from the get go. I wanted to practice my watercolouring. I used the blender pens and regal rose ink for the blooms and wild wasabi ink for the leaves. Wild wasabi is one of the returning in colours which has now found a home in the subtles color family. I love the colour by itself but was unsure how to pair it. Here's my attempt with regal rose and pretty in pink.
