Totally Papercrafts Challenge

This week's Totally Papercraft's theme has been picked by Wendy, and she has chosen a colour theme 

orange and yellow

Our fabulous sponsor this week is...



I went for something a bit different as I am not a big fan of yellow and orange ...

I used my distress ink pads, spiced marmalade, dried marigold and squeezed lemonade, and stamped them directly onto the card blank.  I stamped the outer 2 first, lining the edge of the pad up with the corner of the card blank so it matched on the corners.  Having stamped the dried marigold I then stamped over using sepia and a text stamp  - simples!!

 Exactly the same technique for this one, except I stamped an SU flower stamp in the centre of each ink block, added some buttons and a sentiment.

Challenges:
Crafty Creations - buttons
Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
DutchDare - colour challenge (orange, yellow and white)
Do you stack up - for a friend
