Use orange!: A Drunken Stampers challenge

Wow, it's been a long few days, and weeks really, for everyone on the Drunken Stampers team!

So, welcome to my tardy Drunken Stampers post, which I feel relieved to say is not the only late Drunken Stampers post (I do win the prize for the very latest post, though).

Congratulate me everyone.

OK, this week we're pushing you to feel the zest of summer fruit, the bumpy texture of a sporting ball, the joy of all that comes with orange. You know, like the fruit, the basketball and the color?

I'm tired, alright. Funny and snarky dive straight out the window when I'm tired.So does sticking to the point. And that's seriously bad since my ability to maintain continuity is poor even when I'm well rested.

Anyhow, Drunken Stampers challenge number 71: Orange!

Check out my little ATC with the orange balloon! Do you love it? It's courtesy a wee bit of InkyAntics' honeycomb paper pad!

I mounted that on a background of distress ink, color wash spots, rock candy distress stickles and that tape stuff of which I suddently forget the name.

The balloon is strung with a few lengths of twine which are attached to a wee woven basket.

Now our little balloon is ready to float above homes and parks and playgrounds where it'll surely pass you while you're creating your very own color challenge piece!
