Summer Card Camp Week #2

I am loving all the fun at Summer Card Camp!! Here is my card for this week:

 I wasn't too sure what to do with the orange colors, but I remembered a fun stamp I found at Michael's in the dollar bin and had some fun coloring with my copics. I cut out the flower blooms to give the card a little dimension.

Summer Card Camp Week #1

I have been looking forward to this summer card class and was finally able to find a little of my creative mojo based on the beautiful colors selected for this week!
