The clean, refreshing appeal of oranges (no pun intended) was the inspiration for my card. I wanted clean lines and bright colors! I started with a piece of Pumpkin Pie CS that I embossed with the Swiss Dot embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I topped that with a piece of wonderfully bright polka dot Chatterbox PP. To define the boundary between the CS and the PP, I adhered 2 pieces of Karen Foster's Scapper's Floss using a Sakura Quickie glue pen. I love to use the floss to maintain clean lines in place of ribbon. The main image is the wonderful decorative orange tree from the set. I have colored it with Copic marker and added some Pumpkin Shimmerz to the oranges themselves. I cut it out and embossed it with a rectangular Nestability and matted it with a scalloped rectangle in Night of Navy. A couple of little Pumpkin Pie grosgrain tabs, some American Craft blue brads and voila- a bright, clean look indeed! Stay tuned tomorrow for another sneak peak that has "gone to the dogs," as well as, a sketch challenge for Jacksonbelle Tuesday. I have Tuesday's post written and timed to be uploaded because I am having an epidural tomorrow for my back. Keeping my fingers crossed that the post appears when it is supposed to- lol! It's ALWAYs A Stampin' Good Time! Take care!
