I'm calling this my Fruit Salad card because of the colours I ended up using - not my usual palette that's for sure. Fruit Salad were little hard chewy sweets of my childhood that looked orange and yellow.
I used a few of Tracy Evan's stamp sets for this card - starting with the leaf background from Worded Petals stamp using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Fossilised Amber. I originally stamped and cut out and pasted the flower from Friendship Florals in the same ink but it looked too pale and as it was stuck to my piece of lace I couldn't easily get it off. So I restamped it in Fired Brick and coloured it in with the Fossilised Amber and fussy cut it again, not my strong point, and stuck it over the original!
I added some background stamps from the stem of the flower of Worded Petals, some butterflies from Flutter and some washi tape. I added some Spectrum Noir sparkle pen in orange as splatters and added a touch of shading with the Stabillo All pencil.
I'm adding this into the following
