The colors and designs of this collection are just AMAZING!!!
Love the colors and the underwater theme.
Love the vibrant colors and the new patterns and solids sizes
Gorgeous colors & characters! Ideas are “swimming” in my head!
Great idea to add the P&S papers in the collection packs!
Seas the Day is a beautiful collection! I love the colors. Already thinking of what I can make with this collection. I would love to have it!
Gorgeous inspiration using this absolutely vibrant and delightful new collection.
There was a concern expressed during the video that the vibrancy of the color palette used in Seas the Day might not be received as classic Graphic 45. I just wanted to reassure you on this point. Two of my favorite collections have been World’s Fair and Midnight Masquerade. And let’s not forget Life’s A Journey and Typography! Or even A Place In Time. They were all gloriously saturated with color. Seas the Day evoked the same enthusiastic response–joyous colors I NEVER see outside of a Graphic 45 collection and cannot wait to begin working with. Thank you for this welcome return to what I think of as “classic Graphic45!”
Love this feedback! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and join in the fun! Happy Papercrafting.
