hello…

 

Some would look at the challenge colors and see light orange and dark grey.
I saw just the opposite.
The base card is white card stock with a layer of orange card stock.
Using white card stock and a 3D embossing folder I embossed it and then applied Distress ink lightly over the top.
Next I die cut the sentiment from orange card stock using a die from Concord & 9th “Sew Lovely Dies” and clued it to the card front.

  5. You're right that our interpretations of the colours can vary widely. I saw different 'light-ish' shades of orange and either light or dark grey. Your pairing of the dark orange sentiment and panel and light grey floral embossing makes for a lovely card. Thank you for joining us at Colour Hues!
