Collecting Color :: Nine


Collecting Color is a bi-monthly post to share what you’re working on, photographing, DIY-ing, reading or making. Anything goes, as long as it’s colorful, creative and you share a link below.


I used to wear an outfit in high school (it was the 80s, people) that consisted of a candy pink blouse with a ruffled collar and a bright green corduroy skirt, finished off with clogs. Which is why this color combination on these recipes cards is an unusual choice for me.

But a customer requested the pink to go with the vintage green and it has definitely grown on me. She used my printing service to give these cards as part of a gift to her future daughter-in-law with all her son’s favorite recipes. I loved being able to create, not just the design, but the whole card with lots of kitchen history attached.

What color do you want to share today?

  1. I love this idea. Such a thoughtful and romantic gift.

    I like the color combo. I wore black high top Reeboks with two pair of socks: one green, one pink. They went perfectly with a short skirt and a RELAX tee. Oh, it may be time for an 80’s style Allen Family Dance Party. Hit it!
