Yummy Oranges

This Tart & Tangy Kit project pairs the orange stamp with some striped/dotted patterned paper. I layered the striped patterned paper on to the Pumpkin Pie cardstock mat and then layered the dotted patterned paper below it. Since the orange image is somewhat plain, I added some extra visual interest by mounting a strip of scalloped Whisper White cardstock along the seam of the patterned paper.

Since I can't seem to complete a card without ribbon, I added some orange ribbon along the top of the scalloped Whisper White strip of cardstock. I stamped the orange image in Pumpkin Pie 3 times on to a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and then punched it out with my 1 1/4" circle punch. I punched mats for each of the stamped oranges out of a scrap piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock with my 1 3/8" circle punch. Each of the oranges was matted and then mounted on to the striped portion of the patterned paper background.

For the greeting, I inked "Happy Hellos" from the SAB Lots of Thoughts stamp set with an Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker and stamped it on to a scrap piece of Whisper White. The greeting was then punched out with the Small Oval punch. It was matted in the bottom right corner and then brads were attached at each end. The final step in completing this project was to mount the Pumpkin Pie cardstock on to the Whisper White card base.
