Orange & Blue

This is a 5"x5" card. I used orange mulberry paper as my card base. I cut some blue cardstock at 4 3/4"x3 3/4." I used some lighter orange mulberry paper for the next layer, cut 1/4" smaller than the blue cardstock. I then embossed it with the Stars embossing folder. I adhered it to my card base, then wrapped it with a ribbon. I cut some more blue cardstock at 4"x3" and some orange paper at 3 3/4"x2 3/4." I added three star brads to the bottom of that piece. I then adhered it to the card. I cut some dark blue shimmery cardstock at 4 3/8"x1 5/8," some orange mulberry paper at 4 1/8"x1 3/8," and some cream cardstock at 4"x1." I stamped my image, from Hero Arts, and my sentiment onto the cream cardstock. I used pearlescent sky blue and pearlescent rust ink by Tsukineko to stamp my images. I used foam adhesive to adhere the stamped piece to the card. I cut the blue flower from Walk in My Garden at 2" and the glittery orange star from George and Basic Shapes, cut at 1." I finished it off with some light blue bling in the center of the star.

I made this for the following challenges:

• Fantabulous Cricut: "Weather Forecast" - use seasonal weather in your project (I went with flowers and warm summer colors, I love looking at stars on warm summer evenings)
• Alphabet Challenge: O for Orange
• 365 Cards: Monday sketch
