Orange Birthday

DSCF2009

Today has been a lazy day—no babysitting for me, so I have sort of frittered it away doing some baking, laundry, cleaning and a little stamping!  Today’s SCS challenge is to use orange…and I love orange, so I thought I would make a monochromatic card using a gradient set of colors:

I also used several different sets on this card!!!  Waltzingmouse, MTME and Sweet & Sassy all got some love!  If you have questions about them, let me know!  I used Cajun Craze, Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Only Orange and Apricot Appeal for my cardstock colors, and ran them through the Big Shot after adhering them to a piece of Big Shot Adhesive sheet.  I used the Nesties Label One die for my focus and the rock & roll technique for my butterflies.  My SIL’s birthday is coming up, so this will be for her!  Thanks for visiting today!

We tried giving Cassidy these little “puffs” of something—I forget what they are called—but they get quite sticky on her hot little hands…..so funny!

I think she must be saying to herself, “This is just too much work!!!”

    I'm typically not an 'orange person,' but the different shades sure make for a fun card.

    This is gorgeous, so love the stunning colors!

    Re-the vintage girl image you were asking about on my colourQ entry, it was from cassi's creation on etsy! You might be able to find the link on City Crafter Challenge Blog side bar, she sponsored one of our past challenge some time ago!

    Happy Easter to all....

    Gorgeous card, LeAnne! I love how you used all of the different shades of orange together. The butterflies are so perfect, too. I may have to try this out! :)

    Cassidy is not so sure about those puffs, is she? Hee hee! Her facial expressions crack me up! So stinkin' cute! :)
