Today I am sharing a card that I created for a challenge on STAMPlorations. It was to use this card by Kimberly Wiener as your inspiration.
Since I am an ORANGE freak, I decided to attempt an orange background. I did more of an ombre effect on my background then Kimberly did. I used Ranger Distress Inks in Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey and Ripe Persimmon, which I then spritzed with water.
I then layered a die cut frame, banner and sentiment over the background. Each of these was from the mess on my desk, as was the cup cake that I adhered using foam adhesive.
I then literally sprinkled sequins onto the card and then adhered them down where they landed. My last touch was to use a clear Wink of Stella pen and Stickles in "Cool Mint" and "Orange Slice" on the cup cake. Easiest card I have created in a long time!! I just adore orange too!!
Again, I am entering this into STAMPlorations CASEplorations challenge.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!

Nora, this is awesome!
I love your ombre background Nora and the orange and blue go so well together. Love the rich, gold sentiment too, and this is a great take on the original card. Aren't you glad that you didn't clean up your desk if you have still got such a great choice of elements to play with?
