It was a real struggle to get the colors from the inspiration board, and it included a tan/brown, which really didn't feel good to me either. Orange and brown, eh? Well, I finished it, added some Wink of Stella and sequins, and framed it with Calypso Coral and Cool Caribbean. It's not my favorite card, but I think they will like it for the colors and because I handmade it for them (her mom is a scrapbooker and is so sweet). For the inside, I used 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps and then wrote a note above it. They are a really sweet couple.
Thanks for taking a closer look, and I hope you have a great week ahead! Hugs, all! xoxo

Cheryl, I just love this card - particularly the colors - I think these colors are just so pretty together. And, of course, your coloring skills are epic as usual.

Love the way you muted down the orange in this card. Me too - orange is not a favourite colour for me either but I am learning to like it. There are just so many very pretty layers in this card and as always your card is so perfectly framed.

That a lovely image and such a GORGEOUS coloring job...your color palette to meet the challenge is exquisitely done! I'd say that Caribbean Cool was just the right addition to make the colors perfect!

If anyone needed proof that we are sisters, sis, orange is my least favourite colour in the entire world. I love how other people use it though. Your card is drop dead gorgeous sis, sorry I am only just seeing it now. Love you xxxx
