Orangy Aloha

I made this card for the Treehouse Thursday Challenge #47 to use something "faux" on a birthday card. Well, this isn't a birthday card, but a good friend of mine has been in Hawaii for the past three weeks and is coming home today - on her BIRTHDAY! I thought this would be a great card to send to her - with the faux stitching. This is from a digital stamp set called "Aloha", that will be released on May 6.

Ink: None
Cardstock: White, Wild Wasabi, Dusty Durango

Hey Tweetie!

I made this card for both the Treehouse Thursday Challenge this week, which is a sketch, and for today's Way's to Use It Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers to make a celebration card. Well, although there isn't a sentiment on this card...the colors just SCREAM celebration! And they are colors I don't normally use - just a little too funky for my usual style!
