Think spring with the Cottage Garden collection! The soft colors and dreamy artwork in the page kit are perfect for documenting life's everyday moments, a bridal or baby shower, wedding, or any outdoor event. This month's card kit features a wonderful variety of sentiments perfect for the season.
April Collection
Color Palette
In case you missed it, watch the unboxing of the entire collection on YouTube.
What's Ahead?
Let your creativity soar to new heights with the Vista collection. The May theme features a beautiful palette of rich sunset hues paired with stunning landscapes. Stay tuned for the spoiler tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, April 28.
Fonts and Inks
Most of the text elements in this month's collection were created with the (paid) Handmade Cottagecore Script Font Set. If you're looking for colors to complement the April palette, I recommend Lt. Pink, Leaf, and Yellow CS® Hybrid ink, and India Black.
Enjoy a quick review of the collection below. For a more detailed look, visit my spoiler post.
