Cool and refreshing, just like a brand-new start...our January palette is fun and fresh! Create ANY project with this palette (shown off with a peek at some of our new products) and enter by the end of January for your chance to win a COOL Prima prize! Need a little inspiration?

 

Anna Hababicka's frame is delightfully crisp and clean with its wintery palette! Adding new Prima flowers and crystals to the pristine, white backdrop was simply brilliant and refreshing!

I am inspired by the soft colours, and tried to bring out the elegance of these pretty hues in my project. My all time favourite parts of any creation are butterflies and flowers! My product picks from the inspiration provided are the purple and sea-green colours in Prima flowers. ~Bipasha

I created a layout for the wonderful January PPP. The palette is very inspiring. Turquoise is, in fact, my favorite color, and the dark accents just underline its vibrance and beauty. These are my sweet kids in the photo. ~Elena

 

Elena even created a full video tutorial for us with the palette right here! Come see her work her magic!
