Hey friends, it’s February! Let’s talk about love. ❤️
A little love is just what the world needs right now. My February color palette inspiration for you is Re-Entry Red™, Pulsar Pink™ and Lunar Blue™ from Astrobrights Papers.
Red and pink colors are Valentine’s Day staples. Yep, Valentine’s Day totally owns red and pink. I think adding a splash of light blue really elevates the traditional pink and red Valentine’s Day color palette so that it’s modern, fresh and unexpected.
Each month I share an original color palette using Astrobrights Papers who I’d like to thank for sponsoring these posts. All color palettes and opinions are mine. In the past I’ve been inspired by the lush green plants in Chicago’s Garfield Park Observatory, German nutcrackers and Midwestern fall leaves and sugar skulls and baseball games and vintage quilts and an ocean of violets in bloom and lemonade and wild berries and beach toys.
So did I make these cookies myself? Nope, this amateur baker knows when to outsource. 😆 I special ordered these red, pink and blue cookies from Alliance Bakery down the street. Alliance Bakery is probably best known for its wedding cakes and macarons but the kids and I love their decorated sugar cookies.
Last year Elise and I used Astrobrights Papers in reds and pinks to make these super cute paper heart bracelets that were also recently featured at Cool Mom Picks.
I think we’ll make a new fresh batch of paper heart bracelets this week and add in a little bit of blue, what do you think?
