Indian Summer card

I love hot pink and orange together, somehow it balances the sticky sweetness I sometimes associate with pink.  I am entering this into this weeks Polka Doodle challenge.  I have used Sticky back canvas to create a transfer using Bo Bunny paper and some Amy Butler paper as a backdrop.  The stamps are Banana Frog 'Hiya Chick'.  I saw Tim Holtz making rosette flowers on his blog the other day using a die cutter.  Well I have yet to own one of these babies (sniff, sniff) so in the meantime I just cut some long strips from a 12 x 12 and concertina folded them.  The smaller the folds the better the effect.  Glue or tape the ends together and push into a rosette shape.  Probably not explained very well but quite easy when you actually do it,

    What a beautiful card, Colette. It doesn't look like you need a die cutter judging by your rosettes - they're lovely! (Mind you, I do love my Cuttlebug!)

    I have just looked through the whole of your Blog Colette:)

    You make some lovely things!! You certainly ARE a Designer, so keep it coming.

    Loved the hats:)

    I have a Special Needs BIG Son (26) so I know how tiring and restricting it is at times.

    Make sure you get as much you time as you can:)
    love
