I was intrigued by the photo inspiration at Time Out and wanted to make a card that reflected the elements that jumped out at me which was the vibrant orange and the crisp white of the sea shells. I had a rummage in my stamp stash and came up with this using some old Hero Arts stamps....
I stamped and white embossed the sea shell multiple times before blending Spiced Marmalade and Abandoned Coral over the top. I die cut a square in the middle to create a frame and stamped a Hero Arts birthday sentiment in the middle. It is very simple but I think that the vibrant oranges really pop!
I hope you like it!
Here is the inspiration from Time Out:
I shall also link up at the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where the colours that I have used on my card work with the lovely autumnal inspiration board.
Thanks for stopping by,

Yes, the orange really pop! It's my favouritecolor and it looks great on your card. Clever design :-)
