I made this card for a friend who celebrates her birthday in July using some very old retired SU! dsp called Haiku - along with a retired SU! framelit die set called Dress Up. I love the shades of orange, yellow and green with those big flowers which all remind me of summer. I used some artichoke green for the dress stand, adding some tiny pearls for a necklace. I found some hot orange twine to tie around the waist and added a Sweet'n Sassy sentiment panel done on some daffodil yellow cardstock. The background was embossed with a CB decorative tiles ef.
I'm going to enter this into the Tuesday Throwdown #402 - "heatwave" (use hot colors)
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you do!
