GingerLoft – The Colour Orange

For Lia Stampz Sketch challenge click HERE

Hi everyone! Sorry I have not been visiting your blogs to comment. I will stop by soon. This fortnight Tami of GingerLoft is challenging you to use the colour ORANGE! I have two cards to show you today.

I have used the “Pumpkin Sign” digi from GingerLoft Store. The image is coloured with regular Faber Castell pencils. All the papers used here are digi freebies. The scallops are hand cut and adorned with copper glitter balls by Pie Lane. The butterfly and fabulous diamond gem stickers are also from Pie Lane. The image’s edge is distressed by Clearsnap (French Blue - queue).

I added faux stitching and distressed the papers with Archival Ink in Sepia, I like how this makes the paper look a bit like fabric.

The beaded trim is from my stash. I finished it off with a fancy bow and an orange gem button.

Challenges: CR84FN, Cupcake Inspiration, Card Caravan, ECP, Just some lines, Marks Fines Papers,

_______________________________________

The second card was not so much orange, this is why I made the card shown above.

This image is called “Swing on a Star” . I have used the complete set here with the sentiment. The paper used here is also a digi freebie.

DSC03846

I used yellow gel pen on the moon to give it bit of a sparkle.

That’s it for today folks. Please note that you DONT have to use a digi in order to play for GingerLoft challenges. You just have to follow the theme.

Only you could make something so cute & so very beautiful all at once. That sweet little cat & pumpkin with the perfect teeny butterflies with all that rich orange and droolworthy detailing! WOW! And yes I would like to swing on a star! That moon is so sweet and the distressing & details are pure beautiful cuteness. I'm so thankful you make these things for us to admire!
