Color Challenge - Chocolate Orange

I was invited (well, coerced...heh!) by one of my dear Twitter pals Dreena over at Prairie Papercrafts to participate in a color challenge. I was a bit unsure. I'm feeling a bit unsure of challenges these days. But, since I *DO* think she's awfully groovy, I figured I'd do it anyway. Plus, she said she'd tell the Coffee Gods on me if I didn't participate!!! Can't have that now, can we?

I've been itching to play with my new Hero Arts stamps since I got them so this seemed like a really good time to dig in. :)

I'm posting the card tonight to link on Dreena's blog & will update with all the supplies tomorrow (there's TONS!).



I really loved making this card. It was a blast. And I have the perfect person to send it to. (Hugs, Ashley!!! This card is YOURS!)

Thanks for looking and I hope you like what I made.

*Edited to add the loooong list of supplies:

{Supplies:
Stamps - Engraved Flower, Ledger, Essential Messages (Hero Arts)
Cardstock - Chocolate Chip, Kraft, & Naturals White (SU)
DSP - Ambrosia Collection by Basic Grey in Citrus, Mandarin & Fresh-Squeezed.
Other Paper - Grunge-paper (Tim Holtz Ideaology -Advantus)
Ink - Walnut Stain, Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick (Tim Holtz Distress Inks for Ranger Industries), Jet Black Archival Ink (Ranger Ind.), Perfect Pearls in Forever Red, Perfect Gold & Perfect Copper (Ranger Ind.).
Etc - Staples (Tiny Attacher - Tim Holtz) , Ribbon (Michaels). I also used Ranger's Glossy Accents as "glue" and SU's Dimensionals to help pop-up the petals. }

All my best,
