It's a cloudy, gloomy day here today. The kind of day where it threatens rain, but it never does. Mother Nature at her teasing finest. In spite of that, and having a code in my node, I decided to participate in the CR84FN challenge and make a card using these bright and cheerful colors:
I'm pretty sure this is my first time participating in a CR84FN challenge, which is exciting! And it's Oh, Boy, POY! It's like POW in the cartoons, only more ladylike. I have made more cards using pink and orange in the last two days than I have in the last ten years! Here's what I did this time:
Because of the daffodil, I had planned to make this a Happy Easter card, but then I spied the "live with zest" stamp and decided that seemed so perfect for this "citrus-y" card. It does make your mouth water for a big, juicy, zesty orange, doesn't it?
Please enjoy ~ and thank you for stopping by! Special thanks to you if you took the time to leave me a comment or join!
