Burst of Orange

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday :) I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. For my card today, I went way out of my comfort zone! I usually work with pinks, lavenders, blues, soft greens . . . I rarely ever work with bright orange :) I found this design paper from My Mind's Eye at Michael's (it's the "Home" Collection) and decided to challenge myself a bit with some colors I don't usually use. To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about the end result. I think I probably should have left the space around the image white instead of coloring with another shade of orange. Oh well, I learn something new with each card I make so hopefully, I'll get better in the future :) For my card, I used another beautiful image from ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection available at Sweet Pea Stamps. This image is called September Rhythm and I think she's just gorgeous. I colored her with copics and added some Martha Stewart glitter to her tail (I love this stuff, but it gets everywhere!) :) My card base was made with SU cardstock and the DP is MME. For a finishing touch, I added orange roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think? I'd love any suggestions or comments you might have, as I said, this one was way out of my comfort zone :)

Thank you all so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day and I'll see you back here tomorrow.

Hugs, Christine :)
