Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop…Rainbow
Thank you for joining us for the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! We are an international group who have joined together for this fun hop. The are a total of 25 stops on the hop! The theme for this month's hop is Monochrome Rainbow Challenge. Each participant was assigned a color based on their time zone. How fun is that? The leader of this blog hop, Angie McKenzie is so creative and is always thinking up fun and interesting blog hop themes for us! Thanks Angie!
Where I live falls in the orange part of the rainbow. I decided to use Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, and one of the new In Colors, Pale Papaya. I chose the Band Together stamp set and the Detailed Bands dies . Both of these products are retiring, so the time to shop for them is now.
I used the Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody, and the Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends to color the flowers. The fancy label frame was cut out using Pale Papaya CS. This color is so lovely and remembers me of well, papayas or maybe cantaloupes. It is a color I didn't realize I needed but when now that I have it totally fits in and makes sense.
I also used the soon to be retiring Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder. The sequins are from the Artistry Blooms Sequins. Love that these sequins are adhesive backed, it makes adhering them a breeze. The ribbon is another sneak peek from the upcoming catalog. It is the Pale Papaya and White 1/2" ribbon. I added 3 loops of the ribbon to act as leaves since I didn't want to introduce another color to the card.
The sequins do not look Mango Melody in this picture but it is just how the light is reflecting. Now it is time for you to hop on over to see what the talented Teri West has created for you.

Oh how I loved this folder! It’s a superb card, very happy, thank you for sharing!
So Pretty…I am sad this bundle is not sticking around…
SO lovely! Love the way those flowers are coloured so that they nearly jump off the page. Great use of texture on the front – I LOVE that folder and will miss it. Most of all, I like the clean, bright design.
Love your mix of oranges
Lovely card Sharon!
Beautiful Sharon!
Luscious mix of the oranges, Sharon! So elegant and striking with the Pumpkin Pie card base. As always thanks for the inspiration and for hopping with us! x
