Friday Mashup Crushed Curry!

I have to admit I was not too excited about the Crushed Curry color Stampin UP brought back. I am not a yellow kind of person, however I really liked the Summer Starfruit. When I say the Friday Mashup Challange I thought I would give it a chance and came up this card. I am loving the Starburst Dies they are so versatile and make great layers.
Supplies Used:
CS: Crushed Curry & Whisper White
Ink: Crushed Curry Stamp Set: Starburst Sayings
