Citrus En-JOY

This card makes me smile all over. Something about the bright, sunny colors, the texture of the corduroy brad, the bit of bling; pretty much everything makes me happy. I hope the recipient will feel the same when they open it.


Color Inspiration
A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge #108 ~ Enjoying the Sunshine
Courtney’s Closet Challenge #62
Courtneys' sweet face always makes me happy. I picked up on the flowers and pink in her outfit.

Inspiration
Charisma Cardz #23 ~ Spots and Stripes
Stamp Something Challenge ~ Happy Somethings
365 Cards Day 107 ~ Sing Along with a Twist (inspired by Rainbow Connection but NO rainbows)
Argh, I was so excited for this challenge until I saw the NO RAINBOW twist. The song makes me think of happy, positive things which I tried to convey in my card through color and the sentiment.
Everyone sing along now, "Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me."

Inside
