CITRUS COLOURS.

Hi and good afternoon dear blog friends and visitors.
Thank you for all your comments on my last card.
I very much appreciate your visit and comments.

I do hope you are all managing to keep cool in this hot weather we are having.

I decided this morning to make a card for the
Joanna Sheens challenge, citrus colours.
Now I warn you , that you may need sunglasses
to look at this as it's very bright. lol.
So here is my attempt.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now the inside.



This is a 8x8 size card.
I have not put a sentiment, or verse inside as it 
was not made for anyone in particular. 
I used my embossing folder that came with my 
E bosser again, but I have used the other side of 
the embossing this time.
The circles are SB Grand Decorative Circles Die.
The corners are Marriane Creatables Corner Die.
The papers used for the flowers, are Dovecraft,
and I used a orange chalk to change their colour.
These were made from the Di-namics Plentyful 
Petals Die.
Buttons from my stash for the centers, some 
lovely orange ribbon I won on a blog hop, and 
some beads I bought on a rope for the corners,
and between the ribbon on the circle.

Thank you again for your visit. 
I do hope you all have a wonderful Thursday
tomorrow.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following 
challenges.
