One-Layer Wednesday 58: Yellow, Orange, and Aqua

This week's One-Layer Wednesday is to use yellow, orange, and aqua on a card. These are such summery, fun colors, and I'm sure y'all will come up with all sorts of fun ideas for them.

I used some of my new A Muse stamps, and watercolored them with SU inks and an aqua painter. Since I didn't have aqua rhinestones, I simply colored some clear ones with a Bic marker to match the ribbon.

OLW58 Rules

1. A one-layer card is defined as a single sheet of cardstock folded in half.

2. Make a one-layer card using yellow, orange, and aqua. Remember to keep embellishments to a minimum.

3. Post your card somewhere online, and link back to it using the InLinkz button on the sidebar of Simplicity.

4. The most important rule of all: HAVE FUN!

Supplies
stamps: A Muse
ink: Palette noir; SU summer sun, pumpkin pie
paper: PTI
accessories: aqua painter, rhinestones, Bic Marker, ribbon, scor-tape
