Stamplorations CAS July Challenge

I am so very excited that orange is the optional color for the Stamplorations CAS Anything Goes challenge starting today.  Woo hoo!  How I do love me some orange!

I stamped and masked the French Marigold - Large stamp then colored it in with Zigs.  Such a luscious orange.  I used red as the shadow and blended it a bit into the lighter orange for added pop.  I added bright yellow to the petal tips and blended that downward.  It's like the blossoms are alight--love the effect.  I diecut the sentiment in foam then added a layer of cardstock on top (I don't prefer how foam looks by itself).  I added the butterflies for added interest and balance--the sentiment looks lonely otherwise. :)

Ready to get your orange on?  Or not--totally up to you!  Come join us!

The Details:  Stamplorations French Marigold - Large, Simon Says Painted Hugs die, Memory Box Dancing Butterflies die, Zigs, Tim Holtz watercolor paper, Recollections 110lb white and black cardstock, Waffle Flower Lacy Layers die
