Be Happy colour suite card

Hi everyone! Welcome to my second post playing along in the May Scrapbook and Cards Today Colour Suite challenge!  For those of you not familiar, this is a color challenge that my friend Summer Fullerton puts together each month for the magazine!

This month the colors are: 2 shades of grey, aqua, yellow and orange/red.  Her color choices were spot on.  I love how on trend the greys are and aqua is one of my go to colors and pairing it with yellow and orange/red just makes me happy!!

Yesterday's card was a simple design and today's is more layered and detailed.

I had lots of fun with this one.  Below you can see how I made the orange frame using Classic Squares nested inside the Classic Scalloped Square.  You can make the frame with 2 steps but to save time, I layered them and did both cuts at once.  Even though the scalloped die lays on top of the square, the cutting edge is tall enough to cut through the cardstock.

Once I adhered the pattern paper to my cardstock, I placed the square die where I wanted my "window" to be.  To make sure everything was straight I used my ruler.  You may notice in the photo I originally had blue paper at the bottom.  It didn't work out and I ended up using the negative pieces of the lattice die adhered in the space.

This is the back side after the square was cut.  I adhered my Fancy Lattice die cut to the back using some washi tape and adhered it to my card base.
