Dini gave us a beautiful color palette for inspiration for her HYCCT1531B challenge "ORANGE you glad...?".
The focal image came from a 12x12 sheet of fun image from ADORNit. I trimmed it out, colored and added the checked border. I gave it a light spray of shimmer mist, and added Glossy Accents over the flowers, words and tiny dots bordering the sentiment. I matted it onto the orange layer and backed it with craft foam.
I created the card base from a slightly lighter shade than the mat and stamped and clear embossed the background. What I think is cool is that the embossing matches the mat. Serendipity!
As always, thanks for looking!

Oh, Jody, this is beautiful, and I really love the sentiment with the flowers and how you've colored them in. And the checked border is just fabulous. I always love them and never tire of them; they just seem to make a card really pop. And I love that curly background. What a really happy card and beautiful one too that is going to encourage someone special! Hugs!

This is such a pretty card, Jody! I love that you added the checked border and so many other special details. What an inspirational sentiment too - I know it will bring hope and courage to just the right person. Thank you for playing along with my challenge and for supporting Hope You Can Cling To!

I have been so busy, like everyone else, with the HYCCT chalkenges that I missed a lot of great cards in the galleries. I was just looking at all the great creations in your gallery, and since I would be here all day if I commented on all tge cards I love, I settled on this fabulous card. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!! Wonderful colors, my fav boarder, and a terrific sentiment.
