Not too long ago, I shared a card using the color orange and remarked that it is not one of my favorite colors. Today, I have another card using orange! It also was made with a lot of older Prima products.
As you can see, I have a tendency to hold on to some things because I think a better idea might come along. lol For this card, I matched two pieces of pattern paper together and placed the floral lacy trim along the edge where they joined. I stamped a Papertrey Ink sentiment onto the Prima sticker and added several flowers and a leaf below that. A Martha Stewart butterfly punch was used to cut the butterflies from the darker print paper. Rhinestones and gold beads were added for accent.
Even though I am not a fan of the color orange, I have to say I am pleased with how this card turned out. I've had these Prima products for several years, so it feels good to finally put them to use!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and for your kind comments. I appreciate them. Have a wonderful week ahead!
Very pretty card with the color orange, Patty! Lovely flowers and sweet butterflies! Glad you are enjoying your retirement! I can get lost in my crafting time, so fun!:-) Take care and have a great week!

Oh Patty, this is gorgeous. I have grown to love orange, as it reminds me of harvest warmth which I adore. Your design is exquisite, as is the sentiment. How important it is to celebrate each day. The sprinkling of sparkles throughout is stunning. Sweet and beautiful work as always, my friend. Sending tons of love your way.
