~An Orange Passion Wish~
May 28th, 2008 by Holly McMillen
Good morning, Ya’ll.
Today’s sketch challenge was the perfect chance for me to try out these colors. I have been seeing alot of pink/orange combinations in advertising and really dig it!
I decided to use the tilted image to make a window for my card. The image is stamped and colored with copics. The background is cuttlebugged in non other than swiss dots. I know, I really need to put that folder to rest! The window is on dimensionals, don’tcha know! :). Shhhhh, don’t tell, but this is for a very special SCS birthday coming up!
Here’s my deets:
Stamps: candle by Hambo Stamps; sentiment is handwritten
Colors: GP White, Pink Passion, Pretty in Pink, Only Orange
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics
Accessories: brads, ribbon, dimensionals, swiss dots folder, cuttlebug, square punch, slit punch.
TFL!~ and have a blessed day!
Cute card. Lovin’ the colours and the frame for the candle is perfect. Nicely done.
I hear you on the swiss dots CB Folder – gives such wonderful texture and dresses things up so nicely. It’s addicting LOL!!
What a terrific card, Holly. Your colouring and the colour combination are just yummy. I used to loath orange and pink together, but now I just think it looks great!
Adorable!!!
I love how you used the bright colors!!
Love that cute little candle and how you colored it, and the window is a great idea. Looks fantastic!! 🙂
I love this card. I was wondering how you did the sqare frame. What size punch did you use and did you also punch the center part or use a craft knife to cut out? With the thicker sides, it could be used for a number of things. I check daily to see what you have created. Also, you use alot of circle punches, which size are your favorites to use with the designer lable punch?
Thanks,
Susan
