Help - need to find a bluish/purple cardstock

Muse · 10-04-2010, 10:01 AM

Hi,

I am making "Save the Date" cards for a friend of mine and her colors are So Saffron, Certainly Celery and a bluish/lavendar color. Looking in the catalog, she chose Pacific point, but my cs just arrived and I am sure that it is more Blue than she wants.

I made a mock up of the Save the Date card with scrap pack that I had from Walmart, and the "blue/lavendar" color was perfect, but I can't find anything online that matches that color.

Any suggestions on where to buy cardstock? I have looked at Gina K and didn't see the right color there. Please help - I have to make 90 of these and I need to start soon.

I have attached a photo so you can see the colors -- not sure how well they will show in the picture, but it is better than nothing. The picture isn't showing, so you can see the card here.
Thanks in advance

Have you looked at the Recollections brand papers at Michaels? Its not as nice as some of the better quality papers out there, but their quality has improved substantially - it doesn't look or feel like construction paper anymore. Its now 65lb cardstock and the colours have been revamped. Its also has a lot smoother surface - it actually feels nice. (At least the couple of packs I bought - soda pop & jewel tones) Its actually not bad cardstock now for the price. A lot of their colours seem to match SU colours too.
