[Five for Friday] - Crushing on Coral by Lorena

Hello there! Lorena here with a brand new Five for Friday post full of inspiration! Lately, I’ve been in love with all things coral. It’s a really pretty color, perfect for both Spring and Summer, and it combines beautifully with soft shades (like mint), with bold ones (turquoise!) and even with trendy metalics. Here are a few coral crushes I’m having right now…

1. Let’s start with an amazing coral reef. Because, you know, it wasn’t Anthropologie that invented this shade * wink *

2. An ombre coral cake? Yes, please!!!

3. Coral seems to be hot for bridesmaids gowns, but you can wear it anytime! This dress is proof. Isn’t it gorgeous, combined with navy trellis?

4. This fabric: Fluffy llamas on a flowery coral background. I. just. can’t. even…

5. The beautiful coral is making a dent in décor, too. I love how beautifully curated this little corner is.

I double die cut the A2 panel from Lacy Layers die to make a square panel in coral, and then used the Lacy Flowers  and Lacy Flowers Mats die to make some inlaid die cutting over vellum. I finished the card with Celebrate word die cut from glittery gold fun foam, and gold twine. I also tried some tone on tone coral on this tag, but this time I used glittery white fun foam for the sentiment, which comes from the Congrats die set. I hope you enjoyed this coral parade! Happy weekend! -Lorena
