I have been making cards a pretty long time, since September 2007 to be precise, and I have just had a giant epiphany, I love orange and yellow on a card.
All of my favourite cards over the years, probably 80% percent have this colour combo.

To make this card I used the Avery Elle Sending Hugs Stamp and die combo.
I love this set as it cuts the envelope separately so you can tuck your selected animal image inside.
The background was make with a lawn fawn layering stencil which I have lost the packaging for, but it is pretty recent. I used die inks from SU for the layering, blending with makeup brushes which look exactly like ink blending brushes and cost a quarter of the price of repackaged, branded ink tools.
I am all for buying original stamps and dies, but when those same companies buy cheap tools, brand them and sell at an enormous mark up, I am not so keen to buy those!

So yup, that's my card.

A delightful card Louise - I too use makeup brushes for crafting - (via Ali Express) I like your colour combination - it's not one I use, but I must consider it :) - Thanks for the inspiration
