Orange seems to get a bad wrap. Folks either love it or hate it. I happen to love it. It is bright happy color that doesn't apologize for itself. It plays nice inn the sandbox with other colrs such as blue, red, and yellow. Blue and orange is a favorite color combo of mine. So striking.
Diana of the blog-"that creative feeling" posts an article called "Ode to Orange, a color we love to hate". Check it out.
This month's challenge at the Rainbow Card Challenge is "orange opulence". We are asking you to put all your negative feelings if you have them about orange and embrace it. Create an orange forward card.
I stamped the butterflies with a variety of orange inks from Altenew. I stamped the sentiment and then die cut the butterflies and used foam tape to raise them. I know this technique has a name but I am at a loss. I am sure Jennifer Maguire has shown us this technique.
So now it's time to dust off your orange inks and show them some love and create an orange card. Be sure to link it up to the Rainbow Card Challenge. You have all month to play along!
