January Blues Brightened My Day

Jeanette's Embracing January colors included one of my favorites. Anything with Lilac Mist and I'm there. I usually put it with crystal blue or dutch blue but with Indian Corn Blue Lilac Mist it just brightened my day. Also, I have not thought to use Vanilla Cream as an accent color. I usually use it as a neutral card base. Needless to say these colors were really fun!
