Hi friends! It's getting juicy around here! There are lemons for days and I'm here for it. The original idea was for one card but I ended up with so many lemons and lemon slices that I just couldn't let them spoil, so we've got two cards today!
They are the same design but I put the sentiment in different places so you could see the options; maybe you like one place better than the other. Personally, I couldn't choose.
To get these started I took yellow cardstock and splattered it with white paint. Then I took watercolor paper and did some ink smooshing with different yellow inks. When the papers were dry, I cut bunches of lemons and lemon slices using the Lawn Fawn Zesty Lemon dies.
Next, I cut the center piece from white cardstock. This is the clincher right here. This step ended up giving me twice as many slices as planned because I loved the combo both ways so I made them all!
I cut two notched squares using the new Pretty Pink Posh dies from teal cardstock and used them as a guide for the size of my lemon wreaths. I used liquid glue to adhere the lemons together and an acrylic block to hold them in place while they dried.
While those were drying I got messy with distress oxide spray and spritz on my teal squares. I also added some watered down white paint to these for more texture.
While all that was drying, I cut pink panels for my card fronts and glued them to bases. I inked the edges a little with a blending brush and ballet slippers ink but I think the colors were too close because it didn't show up a lot. Next, I cut Pretty Pink Posh sentiment strips and stamped my sentiments on them. This one came from the Pretty Pink Posh Citrus stamp set.
Then everything was assembled with foam tape and squares so there is a bundle of dimension and visual interest on both cards. For finishing touches I added stardust Stickles to the centers of the flowers on both cards.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
I adore this set!
