FMS #691 & JUGS #780

Hello and happy Sunday to you all!
I have one more card that I made last week to share.
Combining the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #691 and
the mood board from Just Us Girls #780
I came up with this:


I love the contrast of the beach scene and those gorgeous orange
flowers! I don't know what type of flowers they are in the
photo, but they reminded me of poppies, so that's 
what I used. I also liked that the photo is darker in the 
lower left and upper right, so after I stenciled
my waves, I blended those corners on the panel to
mimic it.


Another simple sentiment on the inside finishes my card.




I think what took the most time for this card was trying to mix
the different orange inks I have. I have some from various companies
but no full sets, so maybe I should make swatches. It could happen. LOL!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great rest of your day!

adding pinterest script 3. Changing the Position of the Pin it! button The cool thing about this code is that you have some freedom over where the Pinterest button for Blogger will go over the image. Take a look at the code that you just copied and pasted into the HTML for the word 'center'.
