Melissa Phillips has offered another beautiful inspiration photo from A Creative Mint.
Orange can be a difficult color for me to work with, but I wanted to give it a try. I am really enjoying purples lately. I stamped the background with an image from Vintage Label onto Vintage Cream cardstock, using Orange Zest ink. The sentiment is stamped in Plum pudding ink onto Lavender Moon cardstock. Everything is sponged with Walnut Stain ink for distressing.
Thanks for looking!

Lovely. Before I read your post though I thought the twill was melon berry, not orange zest!
