"ORANGE" - not only a bright, summery hue but also a delicious, juicy fruit. So why, when I asked Connor to pick a color and he said "orange" - did terror strike my papercrafting heart? I had decided that whatever color he chose would be the focus of my entry to the
Less is More - Week 18 - Monochromatic Colour Challenge, but seriously, "orange"??!! I am not the only one scared of orange - I just checked the Less is More Gallery and currently there are 203 entries and only 6 of them are orange!
Once I wrapped my brain around it and used the
Clean and Simple Stamping's FTL143 accompanied by lots of wonderful
a muse|studio products all was well!! Everything is better with a touch of orange gingham paper!
Isn't that just about the nicest sentiment ever to grace a card? (
Friends Fur-Ever) - the flowers are from
Marvelous Marigolds. Guess what ink I used? Yup -
Orange along with some
Orange and
Pumpkin cardstock. Moral of the story - not sure, but suddenly I am in the mood for Cheetos!

"Orange" you proud of yourself for going outside of your comfort zone and creating this incredibly cute card? I love the gingham scalloped border. You did an awesome job!
Hi Michelle, orange is not a colour that immediately springs to my mind when card making either, but this is a great card and I love the sentiment.
Thanks so much
