Celebrate - Citrus Colours

A quick post to share this card that I made for a few challenges:


I started out by blending Distress Inks on a piece of cardstock - Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, and Twisted Citron - and then die cut it using a Taylored Expressions die. I just love this colour combination - it reminds me of sunsets and margaritas :) The die cut was then adhered to the card base. I added a piece of vellum with a Clearly Besotted greeting heat embossed with a pearl grey powder. I also added a MFT stacked (4 high) die cut with the top layer inked with Distress Inks and finished off the card with some lemon-y sequins (they just arrived in the mail in my SSS card kit as I was working on the card - totally meant to be!)

 I will link up to a few challenges:
Thanks for stopping by!

    Your 'sunset and margaritas' palette is so lovely, especially with that particular die. The vellum is a perfect canvas for your eye-catching sentiment! You have me longing for a tropical paradise holiday *grin* So glad you shared your artistry and creativity in the Inspirational Geometric challenge! Thank you...
