Autumn Orange

With Pumpkins and Leaves

When Orange came up at Color My Heart I wanted to pass. I don't do orange. Then I remembered my favorite CTMH Pumpkin and Textured Leaves that come in shades of orange. Added a little brown and now I'm sending Autumn Wishes to you and yours as we celebrate Thanksgiving. 

Have fun with orange in the Fall and share at Color My Heart.

Card Color Recipe

1 Neutral: Pebble

1 Glitter: Blue Belle Glitter paper

1 Color: Blue Belle

This angel was an accident and headed for the trash when with a second look I came up with this card. I was trying to make the angel white with white daisy pigment ink. It didn't turn out so I stamped Blue Belle on top of the white daisy which left the white shadow around the edge of the angel. I set it aside and came back the next day and came up with this card. Sometimes mistakes turn out to be a new and different technique.

For my card I used Candy Apple, New England Ivy, and Gold.

The card has a Candy Apple on Black base with a black lattice paper accent piece (a sneak peak from the new book coming on Sunday). I used the flower from Operation Smile and added some gold glitter trim and a gold glitter gem in the center of the flower.
