I was so excited to do yesterday's ORANGE Free For All challenge that I went looking for orange glassware on today's inspiration site. I hadn't set out to do a vase, but when I saw this, I got the idea to make an alcohol ink background and cut out a vase. Turns out the ScanNCut doesn't have a vase pattern loaded in, but it does have a pitcher. Good enough. I wanted to balance the funky vase with some simple and funky flowers and I found this Bugaboo digi. It has a frame around it, but I printed it without the frame. I couldn't resist a little bit of coloring, so I added in some gold accents with gel pen. The gold framing is inspired by this week's TLC, which I couldn't participate in because I don't have foil. It's the first challenge that I didn't do so far this year, but I'll give myself credit toward my goal of trying each challenge, because I was inspired by it today. Anyway, once I had it all put together it needed one more thing, so I die cut some little hearts out of both the alcohol BG and the gold card and scattered them around. What a happy card, right? It's the orange. I read once that the color orange makes you feel happy and optimistic. Must be why it's my favorite.

This reminds me of the mid century brass art with your whimsical flowers, Jen! I love your vase and IMHO...Stratum needs to Orange up their orange glassware!
Wonderfully mixed interest going on.
