My first thought was Halloween with this color pairing, but I can't seem to stay on top of birthday cards this year, so I pulled out an oldie but a goody stencil from PTI called Wild Blooms and a WF Postage Collage Die and came up with this...
I stenciled first with shades of orange and green and then used the postage die to make it look like a collection of stamps. I love experimenting with stamps and stencils that are not specifically meant for the postage collage dies, but come out so cool looking anyways! After stamping the postage amounts and cancellation marks in each section, I backed the panel with a piece of Certainly Celery cs (SU! - retired) and then added both layers to a white card base.
To finish my card, I hot foiled my sentiment in copper (to kind of go with the orange theme), and then added a die cut postage circle, baker's twine, Disco Ball sequins (Gina K) and a small vellum butterfly from Poppystamps Butterfly Button dies.
We (the DT and our Special GD Lisa K.) have some beautiful and fun examples to share with you for inspiration using these 2 great colors, and you can check them all out right HERE. We can't wait to see what YOU come up with using these two colors! This challenge is open till Sunday, Sept. 14th @ 9:00AM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
