This is for today's Featured Stamper Challenge FS70. Cindy (a.k.a. YLM) has a great gallery that you can check out here: YLM's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
This is the other card I chose to CASE: On your Retirement by YLM at Splitcoaststampers. I loved the pretty pink border on the side, but didn't know how to replicate that, so I opted to add some ribbon on the top. Cindy has some beautiful cards in her gallery with this set that are orange and yellow. They are just gorgeous! So I tried to recreate that as well. I started off using So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie SU! Water Wonder Crayons and moved to the brighter tones of Summer Sun and Only Orange to finally get the look I wanted.
Things I changed:
* Color Combo
* Embellishments
Thanks for looking!
Happy Sunday!
