My wish for rain almost came true today as we woke up to thunder and lightning at 5:45am. Atticus did his guard dog duty and went tearing outside to tell off whoever was making all that noise. :) Despite the noise and light show we only got a sprinkle of rain. The rest of the day was just cloudy and muggy. Good enough for staying in the Craft Cave though! 
I'm working on my special orders but I also took some time to play. I combined a few challenges for this card. The colours were taken from the latest Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenge. As soon as I saw the inspiration photo I thought of these Doodlebug papers that have been languishing in my stash. I paired them up with the sketch from the Fusion challenge and used stamps from the Sweet Stamp Shop - I'll be joining their Use What You Have Challenge since my papers are from 2005!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill, (Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (Obviously Orange Stripes, Obviously Orange Grid, Tangerine It's About Time, Limeade Sweet Stripes) Doodlebug
Stamps: (Candies and "sweet" from Sweet Tooth) Sweet Stamp Shop, ("Hope your day is" from So 80s) WPlus9
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wasabi) Stampin' Up
Embossing powder: (Seafoam White) Ranger
Dies: (Nesties Labels One) Spellbinders, (Double-Ended Banners) Papertrey Ink
