I love the fun wrapping paper Anne found for today's IC! I chose the Retro Festive Gift Wrap, because I wanted to use orange on a card today! Why, you may ask, would I want to use orange on a card today? Because today is the Civil War!! What is the Civil War? It is the big football game played by the Oregon State University Beavers and the University of Oregon Ducks. Beavers and Ducks? Yes, Oregonians love nature and wildlife, so we have Beavers and Ducks. I went to OSU, so go Beavs! Hence the orange (our colors are orange and black). If we win today, we are going to the Rose Bowl!
Now, I had pumpkin pie for breakfast today, anyone else? But alas, pumpkin pie paper did not look right with the cuttlebugged panel, which I think is cranberry crisp (hence the pinkish hue). So I chose tangerine tango and went more shabby than retro. I wiped distress ink over the panel and along the edges of the tangerine pieces.
Now the strange thing is, as I held up my camera to take the picture, my camera changed the color of the orange! Too weird, I am looking back and forth between the view screen and the actual card, and I'll be darned if the camera didn't make it look like pumpkin pie anyway!
