Fan-tastic!

This Monday afternoon post is a card for 3, yes, 3 challenges. I didn't even plan it that way! I started this one for the Play Date Cafe', PDCC25. Julie, our regular hostess has been ill, so Sarah stepped in. Here is what Sarah had to say:

But you know what happens when you let your British design team
colleague take charge?
She spells 'colour' ...hmm, can I say 'correctly?',
or shall I be diplomatic
and say 'the non-American way' ;)

It's a Colour Splash Challenge!

'Colour Splash' is simply black & white with a 'little bit' of colour.
And this week's colour is
orange

I wanted to use one of Rupa Shevvde's "Many Happy Re-turns", images. {find the set here, at Gina K Designs} Well, I needed a sketch, so I went over to Gina K's StampTV. I found Vicki's sketch challenge, stvscvd07, so I went with that. I remembered that the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge, SSCC35, was something with flowers, so I made sure I added flowers. Read the scripture and thoughts from Candace.

The back and bottom of my photo are actually the same color, and my fan is more orange than the yellow it appears to be. HUH???

Oh Lori... this is fan-tastic! What a great image/sentiment!!! Love the colors and how the orange pops with the black and white! Love your corner treatments!!! Don't you hate when the photo doesn't show true colors? I have it happen all the time and it's so frustrating! I'll take 20 pics to try to get a good one!!! LOL!
