Uncover new creative avenues with this collection of new colour combos to try!
Why Go Vintage?
Vintage colour palettes emanate a sense of nostalgia, warmth, and timelessness that's hard to replicate. If your aesthetic leans towards rustic and vintage, these colour combos can take your projects from 'cute' to 'heirloom-worthy.'
How to Start Incorporating Vintage Colours
- Paper Choices: Begin with choosing paper stock in your new vintage colours. Textured or patterned paper can also add an extra dimension.
- Stamps and Inks: If you’ve got rubber stamps or ink pads in these colours, they can become your new best friends. Use them to add details, layers, and textures.
- Embellishments: Ribbons, buttons, or vintage trinkets in your chosen palette can bring the look together. Less is often more, so don’t go overboard!
- Mix and Match: Don’t be afraid to mix these vintage colours in unexpected ways to discover new palettes and moods.
- Pair your next papercrafting project with some matching butterfly stickers - find some sweet stickers to match here. Or, grab some floral stickers - my Bloom range is sure to have a colour to match your next project - find your favourite here.
