Color Challenge Fall Tree Card


Let me be the first to say this card is very very.... CROOKED!!!!   lol. I hadn't noticed it until after I had taken the photos. Oh well, we don't do perfect, right?
So continuing the color challenge for this month, when thinking of brown and orange I thought of a fall tree but to incorporate pink needed a bit more thinking. "Flowers" was all that came to mind. I dought roses would be in bloom still while the leaves had already turned on the trees, but they did in my head and on this card..lol. I found that the Distress Ink color of "Abandoned Coral" really pulls orange and pink together beautifully.

You Are The Sun, The Moon And The Stars



I absolutely love the New MMI Stamp Sets and couldn't wait to create something. I googled sun, moon and stars and found this sweet phrase that coordinated the stamp sets perfectly. I typed out the saying on my computer then printed it out. An ombre  blue background was a great affect- this could also be done with watercolors. I die cut the word "you" with MMI new Die set. I stamped, fussy cut, and inked the characters using Distress Inks. Then I arranged it all on a 4" X 5 1/4" card front and finished by gluing the front to a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. 
Supply List;
                     Fossilized Amber kit #13
