A Splash of Orange

I just can't pass up the chance to play along with a colour splash challenge and this week the Play Date Cafe have orange as the splash colour.... not one of my favourite colours but mixed with Black and White it suddenly becomes cool and graphic!



I teamed the Penny Black 'i chart' stamp with a lawn fawn set called 'Clear to see' and it's almost a one layer card... without being asked for one!!!
When I stamped out the spectacles I decided to stamp a few of them with the 'second stamping' technique because I felt solid black would be too strong in the pattern along with one orange pair of specs :)

This is a great colour scheme for a guys card and I think this would qualify for that so I'm going to enter this card into Young Crafters Unite Masculine card Challenge 


Now I really had best get my attention turned to producing Christmas cards...... I sit looking at everyone else's lovely creations forgetting I need to get a wiggle on with mine !!!!

Thanks for looking X

    I'm getting a bit worried about the little shepherd's part in this play - he insists one of the songs they have to learn goes 'farmer Christmas, he got stuck'... could be interesting! Lisa x
