Guest Designer for Colorful Options October 2024 Challenge - Orange

Hello there.  I’m delighted to be guest designing (GD) this month at Colorful Options (CO) for their October 2024 challenge where the colour is ORANGE.  If this colour does not appeal to you, there is always the rainbow option.

Ironically, I struggle with the orange colour and almost made a rainbow card. 😂  My first thought was to go the obvious autumn theme route, but then decided to put a couple of never-before-used (NBUS) Hero Arts (HA) products to work and stretch out summer.

Warm & Cosy crisp dye inks from Altenew were used to stamp the scene with the HA Color Layering Sunset Over Waves stamp set on Bristol paper.  A sun mask was die cut from masking paper next using a HA Circle Infinity die.  Stamped the water layers first, adhered the sun mask and ink blended leftover orange ink from a blender brush for the sky.  Removed the mask and stamped the clouds.  For a bit of sparkle, applied clear shimmer to the sun and the sunlight reflection trail in the water.

The Tropical Foliage Window was die cut from black cardstock.  The sentiment from Everyday Sentiment Strips was in my stash.  It had been heat embossed on black cardstovk with white embossing powder, then die cut out with the Sentiment Strips fancy die.  Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish. 

I want to thank Makira and the CO team for this GD opportunity.  For inspirations from the team and/or to link up your entry, please click HERE.  Hope to see you in the gallery.  Thank you for stopping by.
