I started by creating a smooshed background with Magicals (I LOVE THESE POWDERS!). I die-cut a flower branch from mixed media paper and slooshed just the flowers with bright orange distress ink. A simple sentiment stamped in matching orange finishes this very CAS design.

Love your bold color combo and how you added texture to your design by using Magicals for the background! Beautiful card, Loll!
Gorgeous card, Loll. I love the blue with the orange. xx
One thing I love about seeing your cards besides your CAS style is they are so tastefully done. This is beautiful, Loll and love the colors. Your backgrounds are always fabulous!
The gorgeous blue tones complement the bit of orange added to the which die cut flowers Loll, and love the orange sentiment to finish it too. x
These delicate orange flowers are so pretty on the blue background, Loll! A beautiful card for Fall!
Oh, so lovely! Beautiful sweet orange flowers against the blue background!

A simple card maybe Loll, but also stunning and absolutely gorgeous!

If you post one more card made with Magicals Loll, I am going o have to have them! This is stunning. I love the design and those colors are awesome.
This is beautiful Loll. The orange looks fab against that magical blue background. I really should get around to using mine! xx
Great effect with the pretty magicals and love the complementary colours. Fabulous CAS card Loll x.
I was going to write my comment, but your Magical background is so gorgeous that I had to check out the "Time Travel Teal" online first. Ok, now the Industrial Chic jar set is in my shopping cart, so I can relax and continue. :-P
Did I say the Magical background is fabulous? It's perfect for bringing out the beauty of the orange little flowers. I like that you left the leaves and the stems uncolored.

These complementary colours definitely work together. I love your Magicals too and the partially painted bloom die cut is so very smart and creative. A beautiful card.
I really like this combination of colors, warm orange and cold water. An excellent choice
