Reach your creative goals for the New Year with February's stunning Black Tie collection. The classically elegant tones are perfect for documenting nearly any occasion, and you'll find yourself reaching for this month's cards again and again!
February Collection
Color Palette
In case you missed it, watch the unboxing of the entire collection on YouTube.
What's Ahead?
Sunnier days are just around the corner! Get ready with next month's dreamy Cabana theme. The collection features a cool, peaceful color palette of sky-inspired blues with a touch sunny gold. If you love classic patterns paired with beach-y motifs, the March theme is the creative muse you've been searching for. Stay tuned for the spoiler currently scheduled for Wednesday, February 25.
Fonts and Inks
All of the text elements in this month's collection were created with the Delauny font family. If you're looking for colors to complement the February palette, I recommend Caramel, Moss, and Spruce CS® Hybrid ink, as well as White Pigment and India Black.
Enjoy a quick review of the collection below. For a more detailed look, visit my spoiler post.

Stamps
This month's 6x8" sheet of clear stamps is a classic! The beautiful collage image makes a gorgeous focal point on a card, especially when paired with metallic embossing powders. Six of the versatile sentiments fit perfectly into the decorative frame, giving you tons of options. Get inspired by Julie's cards showcased on the blog (later this week), or just copy her ideas as she'll share detailed step-outs of each creation.
