Color Hues #25 - YELLOW & ORANGE

Hello friends.  Playing along with the current Color Hues Challenge where they are using one of my most FAVORITE colors...YELLOW!!  And pairing it with ORANGE...couldn't be more perfect for the beginning of Autumn (or the end of Summer!)! 


I chose to make my card more Autumnal than Summery, and came up with this card using some products from The Greetery and Pinkfresh Studios.  Take a look...


Almost need your sunglasses to look at this card, don't ya?!!  I started by making my background with Pinkfresh Studio's Layered Sunburst Stencils , using Lemon Drop, Wild Dandelion (Gina K) and Summer Sunrise (PTI) inks.  


I added a white Crimped Circle Die cut to my sunburst layer, and then added a die cut branch from The Greetery's Autumn Sketches stamp set, using the same yellow and orange inks for the leaves and a neutral brown for the actual branch.  I used the same neutral brown (Warm Cocoa - Gina K) for my die cut sentiments (The Greetery - Opposites Attract).  I finished with a few yellow Pinkfresh Studio gems, and a single leaf from the stamp set that I attached with a piece of twine. (Can't really see in the photo, but I added WOS to the single leaf so there is a bit of sparkle to this card!)

LOTS of beautiful cards in YELLOW & ORANGE from the talented DT, so check it out right HEREColor Hues is also celebrating their 1st BIRTHDAY this month, and there are prizes up for grabs, so definitely check this challenge out...it's open till the 14th

What a fab sunburst to set off your fab autumnal sprig. Your choice of brown for the sentiment links up perfectly with the branch. So pleased you joined us for the 1yr celebrations at Color Hues. :)
