Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Summer Season. We were to use Bold Brights and Soft Subtles in papers and inks, Primas, ribbon and punches,(no Cuttlebug). And, the stamps and card had to reflect SUMMER.
When I think of summer, Butterflies floating through my garden. I also think of a GIANT orange ball my sister and I had as kids. We used to play with it every summer vacation. So, that's why Only Orange played such a big part in this card.
I stamped Barely Banana with Floral in Apricot Appeal. Next, I stamped the fern from Touch of Nature in Wild Wasabi. The butterly was stamped onto Barely Banana and colored in with re-inkers. Next, it was embossed with Iridescent Ice.
I'm sending this to my Grandmother, who is helping my dad during the funeral this week.
