  • Please follow both the theme AND the colour scheme when creating your cards. The colour scheme is a guide only – you don’t have to be exact but try to be as close as possible. You can use the colours in any proportions to suit your design as long as all three are used. You can add black, white and metallics to any of the schemes

  2. Are you sure you want pinks? Your picture shows oranges, so I'm a bit confused.

  3. Hi Lucretia
    Different PC screens can show colours very differently, so that's why I include a description of the colours. On my screen they look pink! The first colour is a warm, rosy pink, the second is a soft and slightly dusky pink, and the third is a soft delicate mauve. Hope that helps! Katy x
