I decided to use this colour palette to make a set of Thank-you cards for one of my daughter's teachers as an end of the year gift, so I put together 6 different 4"x4" cards and made a matching holder:
I went with predominantly bamboo & barn red with colonial white, and just added touches of dutch blue - mainly through accessories. Here are some close-ups of the cards:

Love seeing this little bag again. I used to make these all the time for hostess gifts w/about 4 cards inside when I was doing gatherings. I miss doing gatherings!
