Encouragement in Orange



Welcome

I think the fact that it is summer here influenced my colour choice on this card, that and the dp, from an Amy tangerine pack.


The set is from Sweet n' Sassy, and I love this sentiment, which was stamped on orange paper to match the card base and pick up the colour from the dp.


The image is from the same set, and the panel was sponged with a coordinating ink before being mounted over a doily.


The final touch was the ribbon with a wee bow slid onto it.


I love the vibrancy of this card.

    I absolutely LOVE this, Maxine. I've always been a fan of silhouette images, and this one is just lovely - SO vintage and sweet. It goes really well with that sweet sentiment, too. Thank you for sharing this delightful card in our challenge. It's always SUCH a blessing to have you share your beautiful art in our challenges.
    Have a great week, and God bless you always!

    What an awesome design and great use of orange. I also love the sentiment. Fabulous job! So glad you shared your wonderful art with us this week at Word Art Wednesday. We started a new Challenge so, hope you come join us again. Leaving you with God's Word in Galatians 5:1, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."

    God bless always,
