amazing friend

In a review of CHA, Cath Edvalson highlighted a colour trend - mint and orange. I was inspired by her review to give this colour combination a go.




The flower is Hero Arts Classic Tea Flower stamped in Versacolor mint and the sentiment from Friends Sayings is heat embossed onto a scrap of black card. The striped orange paper set everything off and I really like the colours together. I set the tag onto a kraft card base which I'd stamped with my go to background stamp of the moment; Hero Arts Tweed Pattern.


As this is a new colour combination for me I'm going to pop this over to Hero Arts January contest - to try something new :)


I can't wait for the first instalment of Clean & Simple 2 from Online Card Classes! The class goes live at about 9am EST tomorrow. As time allows I'm hoping to join in as much as possible :)

    I love mint green and orange, and I so love this card!! The sentiment just grabs you, the background is so nice and subtle, and that pop of orange stripes - just perfect!!

    What a great result - the delicate flower and that modern BG. The touch of black. All paired up with kraft - ya done Cath proud.
