It's no secret that Night of Navy is my favorite color. I think it matches everything and every color. It's the most common t-shirt I wear and go-to cardstock in my craft room. I did a
google search "why is navy blue a great color" and came up with some interesting results. Here are just three: - Color navy is versatile and is often used as a neutral color. It works well
with a variety of colors and creates a dark base background so that more vibrant colors can be highlighted. Because it is so bold and vibrant, it also pairs well with other neutral color.
- This dark shade of the world's most popular color was once called marine blue and has been used by the British Navy since the eighteenth century. Navy blue
represents trust and stability and is less attention-seeking than lighter shades of blue. Navy blue is conservative and evokes feelings of tradition and convention.
- The University of Sussex and British papermaker G.F. Smith did research that found navy blue is a calming color—in fact, the most relaxing color in the world. The
findings were part of a larger study called The World's Favourite Colour Project, in which several thousand people across the globe were asked to pick their favorite color.
Stampin' Up! has created a beautiful mix of blues (starring Night of Navy) in their Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. To me,
all of the patterns have a Nordic feel, which bring back nice memories of the cruise to Norway I took in May, with other Stampin' Up! leaders/demonstrators. Below are the cards, simple in design, I created to go inside the Stationery Box I made a few weeks ago. I thought you may like to see and recreate them for
yourselves. Make any substitutions you need with what you have, or order anything I used that you love. I provided all of the item numbers. You can also use these card designs with many other papers too. If you would be interested in purchasing the pdf of the Stationery Gift box, you can do that with this link. The pdf is downloadable, printable and includes all of the measurements with
photographs and directions (as well as the card information below). The box holds 10 cards & envelopes. - Card Base – Night of Navy card stock, #100867
