Orange you tired of turquoise?

This is a making-friends-with-orange card.

(I'm working on being less of a turquoise-reliant colour chicken,
but it snuck in there anyhow). Do you have a fall-back colour?

The main flower image is a digital one from the Stampin' Up's

Saleabration disk. It's called For You. You might recognize it
from this Photoshop tutorial on

how to make solid digital images into outline images:

It's paper pieced on BasicGrey Ambrosia 6x6 patterned paper
then coloured with orange & yellow markers to bring the contrast down.

-The doily edge is made by cutting a scallop Nestabilities shape & punching circles with a hole punch. I made 4 at once with thin paper to save time.
-The white & grey patterned background paper is made using the flourish image from the Bliss digital set on that S.U. disk. (how to in the tutorial linked above).
-The ribbon is seam binding coloured with a Copic marker.
-The grey flowers are rub-ons from Cosmo Cricket Ever After kit. (On the back of the clear button too).
- The orange background paper is cardstock embossed in clear embossing powder with a Hero Arts Ancient Motif stamp.

...and that's it.
