Welcome back to another color challenge at Colorful Options but firstly a huge thank you to all who took part in our last challenge so many amazing entries.
For the next month, we are asking you to use orange .
I really struggled again as this is the third time that orange or shades of it has been a requirement for my last three Design Team cards and orange is definitely not a colour I like to use.
I did the best I could using this wonderful Spellbinders Kimono die . I used the Altenew embossing folder Arches for texture, coloured with Spiced Pumpkin Oxide ink, incidentally, it’s the only orange colour I have. I then paper-pieced the embossed and coloured card back into the kimono outline.I added my go-to Tim Holtz sentiment and and a little heart covered in lashing of Glossy Accents and there you have it.
We do hope you will join us at Colorful Options the Design Team once again have some amazing cards to delight and inspire.
I’m afraid I’m so far behind in commenting as getting the new shop ready is taking it’s toll. My lovely sister and niece are visiting from the UK and we intend to spend a few days away at my summer house I was hoping that the shop would have been ready by now but as usual here in Greece things tend to slow down this time of year. Hopefully I will be able to catch up next week so please forgive me.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy September.

Marie, it’s certainly not evident that orange isn’t your color! This is such a soft – think apricot – color and I have always loved this darling kimono die! The embossed makes me think of the wonderful, quilted silk garments of Asia!
Your card is gorgeous!
