White with... ORANGE

White with 1 June challenge is all about this amazing ORANGE mood board.

Any variation of orange you want to use - citrus orange, burnt orange or anything in between or you can mix it all up and use multiple variations of orange just so long as it is orange and nothing else. Still WHITE with ORANGE but you have options!

I honed in on the bottom corner of the moodboard, with its woven/ plaid patterns.

Materials

Basic Grey June Bug - Admiral patterned paper
Sassafras Lass Life at the Pole - Mulberry Spice patterned paper
Cocoa Vanilla Hello Sunshine - Happy Days patterned paper (words)
Ranger Dylusions - Squeezed Orange ink spray
