Essential Collection Introduction With Jamie Rodgers

[@nataliewashbrook3255]

Beautiful samples Jamie. I love how you create so many different looking flowers, maybe you could do a tutorial on how you make the flowers. This is a lovely collection, so usuable and versatile. Looking forward to playing with my purchases. My favourite stencil is the Floral Spray, so pretty. Well done on your first release

Hi, Jamie, I just wanted to say that colour is my jam. You touched on the use of grey and how colours look different next to the grey. Years ago, I did floristry. At the shop where I worked, we wrapped the bouquets in coloured tissue paper and cellophane. The bouquets with grey tissue paper always sold the quickest. Grey is a clever colour. You see, it's silent. Yes, that's right. You don't always notice it. Grey enables other colours to speak a different language. What do I mean? Think of bright pink and purple together. That's a girly combination. Now add grey, and it's more sophisticated and not so girly. Grey and lime green is very chic, almost French. The grey doesn't clash or constrain the other colours, but the colours you use will appear different due to the effect of the grey. I think the use of the straight strips die is genius.
