Board #420: Good Green Fun

Today’s inspiration board was inspired by this darling invitation suite. I wanted to do something in green and white that wasn’t preppy or traditional – something a little more fun and playful. For example, how much do you love those bridesmaid dresses! And I think it’s clear I love ice cream cones…

Mood: fresh and fun
Palette: lawn, lime, white, cream

Board #417: Soft Summer Sunlight

You know that light that comes toward the end of a summer day? Between afternoon and evening, when the sun is no longer glaring, but it’s not quite dusk yet either? Siesta time, maybe. Anyway, that’s the light that I was thinking of when I created today’s inspiration board. Soft and warm, and apricot sweet!

Mood: summer light and sweet
Palette: apricot jam, strawberry blonde, late summer green
