This card is one of the card designs I shared in my 2025-2027 Mini Incolors Series. It features the color called Cloud Cover. Cloud cover is a light bluish grayish color. As per the color charts it pairs well with Secret Sea and Darling Duckling. So those are the colors I used in this card.

Directions
- Cut and fold the 8-½” x 5-½” piece of Cloud Cover cardstock.
- With your bond folder, crisp the fold so you have an A-2 card. This card is in portrait orientation.
- With the 5th and 4th largest dies from the Everyday Arches dies, cut a frame out of some Darling Duckling cardstock.
- With the 4th and 3rd arch dies cut another frame out of Secret Sea cardstock.
- With the 5th largest arch cut a piece out of Basic White cardstock. The two arch frames you just cut will rest on top of this white arch.
- With the stamp from the Everyday stamp set stamp in Secret Sea ink the greeting “reach for the stars”. Also stamp a couple sets of the crosses below the sentiment.
- Adhere the Darling Duckling arch onto the Basic White arch.
- Then adhere the Secret Sea arch on the white arch just inside the Darling Duckling arch.
- Loop the yellow twine in a figure 8 like loop. You can use some scotch tape across the middle of the loop because your sentiment will rest on top of the center of the loop.
- Then from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Combo pick a sentiment and adhere it on top of the loop.
- Cut a small banner out of Seret Sea cardstock and another out of Darling Duckling. Adhere on the top left of the card.
- Your card is ready for its envelope.
- Place embellishments of choice on the card. I used the 2025-2027 In Colors Pearls.
